The concept of storing the spatial object as part of the data record is not new, but i 
was unaware of any 
implementation of it other than Oracle spatial, Spatialware, SDE and the like on the 
larger database platforms.  
Certainly i was not aware of implementations on an Access platform.

The concept is certainly better than storing the spatial data in one file and trying 
to maintain an index to a table that 
can be altered from another program.
