You can not have points (or any GIS objects) in a MSAccess database. If you want a spatial datatype you must use Oracle Spatial or Spatialware for MSSQL.

I have sorted how to keep my data in MS Access and then get MapInfo to connect and display it. This works fine for Access tables which just have a single map point per record. Does Access also support Line and Polygon objects, or do these objects have to be kept in MapInfo and only the attributes in Access?
