Hi Listers,

Best wishes for the new year!

A rather interesting suggestion was made to me last week -

Why does MapInfo Corp not produce a product to embed its data 
and map objects into Microsoft Access?

Could Microsoft Access then contain an entire workspace (tables, 
layouts, layer control, thematics, queries, graphs, etc)?  

Are there any Access experts out there who wish to give this some 
thought - how to embed the geographic objects as a type into 
Access tables, and where to implement the geographic extensions 
to SQL ?

This solution would provide an excellent migration path from the 
current stand-alone single-user desktop product, to enable a small 
cost-effective multi-user departmental workgroup environment, 
before needing to move to the heavy-duty (and expensive) 
Spatialware and Oracle/Informix enterprise system.

Regards,
George
