Thanks, that looks like the answer. Hope to have some time in the next day
or two to try it out.

The Access Linked Table Manager only displays DSN=xxx and DATABASE=yyy from
the connection string. It must get the other psqlodbc parameters from the
preconfigured DSN.

Passing the mouse pointer over the linked table icon in the database window
in Access displays what appears to be the entire psqlodbc connection string,
including ODBC as the first parameter, and TABLE=zzz as the last parameter.

I presume that a connection string would be something like:

connection_name.Open "Provider=ODBC; DSN=xxx ;DATABASE=yyy;"

An ADO recordset equivalent for the TABLE=zzz parameter could be:

recordset1.Open  ''zzz", connection_name
