PostGreSQL to Access Updatable recordset

I have a postgresql backend with an access front end and I am trying to
redefine the recordset of the form to use an ADO recordset. The problem is
that the CursorType always changes to AdOpenStatic, even if I choose
adOpenDynamic. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. The form
works great for viewing, but I cannot update or insert any new records.

Below is the code I am using:

connectstr = "DSN=SAP_PG;uid =postgres"
Set conn = New ADODB.Connectio n
conn.Open (connectstr)
rs.CursorLocati on = adUseClient
rs.Open "select ProductID,Produ ctName,ProductT ypeID,StockType ID from
Products order by ProductName", conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimisti c
Set Me.Recordset = rs
Me.Requery

The conn object contains the following:
Provider=MSDASQ L.1;Extended
Properties="DSN =SAP_PG;DATABAS E=sap;SERVER=10 .1.1.76;PORT=54 32;UID=username ;
PWD=password;Re adOnly=0;Protoc ol=6.4;FakeOidI ndex=0;ShowOidC olumn=0;RowVers i
oning=1;ShowSys temTables=0;Con nSettings=;Fetc h=100;Socket=40 96;UnknownSizes =
0;MaxVarcharSiz e=4094;MaxLongV archarSize=4094 ;Debug=0;CommLo g=0;Optimizer=1 ;
Ksqo=1;UseDecla reFetch=0;TextA sLongVarchar=0; UnknownsAsLongV archar=0;BoolsA s
Char=0;Parse=0; CancelAsFreeStm t=0;ExtraSysTab lePrefixes=dd_; ;LFConversion=1 ;
UpdatableCursor s=1;DisallowPre mature=0;TrueIs Minus1=0;BI=0;B yteaAsLongVarBi n
ary=0;UseServer SidePrepare=0"
In answer to your upcoming questions:

1) ProductID is the primary key on the table.
2) I do not want to use linked forms, they go much slower then connecting
directly through the ADO recordset.
3) I put a breakpoint right after the open statement and checked the value
of rs.CursorType and that is when I saw it was adOpenStatic
4) I am using PostGreSQL 8.0beta1
5) ODBC driver 7.03.02.00

Postgres does not support updatable cursors yet. Maybe that's why the ADO
driver changes the cursor type from AdOpenDynamic to AdOpenStatic.

hat pretty much solves my problem. Also I found that Access doesn'r support
ODBC updateable cursors until at least Access 2002 (we're using Access
2000), though I thought I had figured out how to get around that and it
didn't work.
I assumed the ODBC driver did support updateable cursors simply because
there is an option in the driver settings called "Updateable cursor"

Thank you for your clarification.

On second thought, I am now confused. The data is updatable when using
linked tables, just not when using ADO recordsets connected to forms. I
tried connected to PostGreSQL using DAO, and I got the recordset back, but
it was also non-updatable.

For the time being I am using Linked Tables, even though it is much slower
to open the forms using that methodology.

Hi all, Over the years, I have had to keep dealing with the same Access restriction - that you can't update a table in a statement that joins it to another non-updateable query or employs a non-updateable subquery. I run across this problem again and again, and yet I've never come up with a single, universal work-around. I'm wondering what other people here are doing.

I've upsized an Access 2000 MDB to an ADP and changed the tables from a linked Access Backend to SQL Server. Now I'm told I can't use DAO any more and need to convert to ADO.
