OLE DB connection tests OK, but fails to get data

[Verhasselt]

I'm running the trial v1.4.0.3012 on Windows XP, tunneling via SSH (putty) to PostgreSQL v8.3.11

The "test connection" feature reports: Connection test succeeded.

Using Excel 2007, the Data Connection Wizard appears and I can see my database's tables.
(the "select database" drop-down shows all the databases on the provider's server)
I select my database name from the dropdown
I select a table
I hit "next"
I'm at the "Save Data Connection File and Finish"
I hit [Finish]
Excel's "Import Data" dialog box comes up - I accept the default settings (Table, into existing worksheet)
I hit [OK]
The PGNP Trial Version Evaluation License agreement pops up.
I agree.
Microsoft Office Excel dialog box comes up:
Cannot open DB connection
The PGNP Trial Version Evaluation License agreement pops up. (again)
I agree.

Same problem happens when I attempt to connect via ESRI's "ArcGIS" product.
Except with ArcGIS, the ArcGIS program "crashes hard" and a "send error report" dialog box comes up.

This has happened on every machine I've tried, including Win XP and System 7

Is this a bug, or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!

It looks like a bug. This scenario had been working in the past. We are trying to reproduce the issue, and will update you shortly.
Thank you!

Have you checked "Save password in file" check box in the "Save Data Connection File and Finish" dialog?

It seems that this scenario worked in our latest tests. Would you send screenshots or any additional info on the issue to Support at pgoledb dot com.
