What you likely have is a VBA for Access application (not a straight VB
application). There is a subtle difference, but it is there. Anyhow, if
VBA is anything like VB, then something akin to:
Set maquina = bd.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM maquina WHERE _
primarykey = '" & OF & "'")
Note that I am using the convention in VB of the underscore for line
continuation.
Anyhow, this is likely something like you want (this makes a big
assumption that the VBA OpenRecordset function operates in the same
manner as the VB OpenRecordset function, which it likely does. It also
leaves out some things which I am not going to repeat here, simply
because I have noted enough of using VB with PostgreSQL and it is all in
the archives of the ODBC and GENERAL mailing lists).
Note, BTW, that if you want any semblance of speed, you will need to set
up that index on your table (ie, CREATE INDEX, referencing primarykey) -
you don't get indexes for "free" under PG like you do in Access - if you
have used Access for a while, you may have a lot to unlearn/relearn).
Hopefully, this will get you started down the right road.
