We have a solution dynamic mapping for Coldfusion using MapInfo as a 
dynamic map generator.  the maps are gifs drawn in real time.  zoom in/out, 
pan,  find nearest, populate the map with various POI, etc, etc.  it's of 
course an OEM tool need integration with your specific maps.

as you must know, access sucks at any volume.   I doubt the rate of queries 
to support our dynamic mapping solution will be supported by Access.

For our CF MapInfo dynamic GIS, you'd need MapInfo MapxSite license, plus 
our stuff.  not cheap.
