Geomedia among others ... the concept isn't new. But still, light years in front of MI data management concepts. No matter how the geometric information is stored, Access OLE objects make everything more compact, that's all. The real difference comes with data management, querying and relationships ! GIS are *not* painting apps ! I, for myself, decided long ago now to keep data in Access, while using MI for managing geometry. It'll even enable to design -easyly- friendly user interfaces ! Eric.
