I am unable to change the port number from 5432 to the correct port
number for my PostgreSQL database when I create a File DSN. I am need
to migrate data from Microsoft Access to PostgresQL and a File DSN
connecting to my PostgreSQL database is required. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Either re-create the file DSN, or open the DSN file in a text editor and
manually alter the port number. I seem to remember that the latter
worked for me.

Re: Changing Port number in a File DSN

I found a paper on "Using MS Access with PostgreSQL". It did mention
that there was a bug that would not allow you to change the port number
when creating a file DSN that you had to edit the file. Figured out how
to do that and I am now able to connect.

Thanks,
