Troy, A while ago I managed to get a successful LIVE link between Mapinfo and Access 2000.
For example, I could make coordinate changes directly in Access and see the resultant changes in MI. I could also move a point in MI and see the changes back in Access. Three things to note: -------------------- 1. You can only have a LIVE link to an Access table (not a query). 2. Changes made in Access won't be reflected in your map window until you pan/zoom/redraw the window. 3. Set the ODBC refresh interval in Access.

I've connected to an ODBC Access database and would like to get live updates from it. I have followed all the directions and occasionally can get a fire truck on the map and in the right spot. What I can't do is change the Lat/Lon in the access database and get the truck to move. I have unchecked the Download Data (Linked Table) box and have tried it with Cache checked and unchecked. I believe the Map Catalog was created correctly, but as I have no real idea of what I'm doing, I'm not really sure, so if anyone could give me a few pointers or a bit of advice, I could really use it.
