I've noticed that tables, that I created with pgAccess or Microsoft Access,
are NOT visible in
pSQL.

Any attempt in psql to SELECT * FROM tableName;
results in the error:
"Relation 'tableName' does not exist."

I can link from MS Access to the pgAccess tables, just fine. pgaccess can
open the tables, just fine. I'm using the latest version, 7.1.3 of
PostgreSQL. I made sure that the database was not created using "root" and
that I was logged on as another User (which had created the database and
created the tables).

Why? Is there some permissions thing, that I missed?

... any light, that you might shed, would be appreciated,

thanks

Try

#> SELECT * FROM "tableName";

as Access creates the tables eaxctly as you name them, you must use ""

using SELECT * FROM tableName; triest to access table "tablename"
