  I had a similar problem.  Yo might want to start the postmaster with
the following command line "postmaster -p  portnumber -i.
(portnumber is different from 5432, iused 5678, can be some arbitrary num
with in limits)

Then start pgaccess, make sure you change the portnumber in the open dialog
box
to the one you used to start postmaster. That should solve the problem.

Hope it helps.
