I want to connect to a PostGIS table Using MS Access.
The table has been created using the PostGIS Shapefile loader in pgAdmin. It has been encoded at LATIN1 (it wouldn't load with UTF-8 default).
I have installed the ODBC driver from: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/ (09_03_210)
I have set up the link in MS Access (using "PostgreSQL Unicode" driver), and I can bring the table in. However in all of the fields it is displaying #Error rather than the data.
I don't get this error with a table loaded with UTF-8.
I'm not sure where to set the encoding variable to LATIN1 when I call the data. I have tried doing so in the "Data Source" Advanced options under "Connect Settings"
SET client_encoding TO LATIN1
but it hasn't helped.
Is there another problem here like maybe I am setting the encoding variable in the wrong place?
