It looks like the connect string contains extra characters. Is that just in the post or in the connection settings too
;Serve ;Server=dkcphsqlfg03;Port=5433;Database=jordweb_test
jordwe jordweb_test;Uid=jordweb_test;Pwd=************;Connect_timeout=10;

It seems that you are missing DSN/Driver name, should be set to "Driver={PostgreSQL ANSI}" Of course the ODBC driver should be available on your system. In case you don't already have it, you can get a copy here http://psqlodbc.projects.postgresql.org/

Which link is not working? Did you mean the download link for Postgres ODBC driver? If you need that specific link, you can try this one https://www.enterprisedb.com/getfile.jsp?fileid=1190
Also, if you have a working ODBC connection and it appears in ODBC administrator tool, you can select it in DSN/Driver drop-down, instead of the driver name. That should work too.
