Connect MS Access DB with MapInfo

[yus2aces]

Right now, I am developing a database which will be connected to maps collected from MapInfo or ArcGIS. I want to know how I can connect my DB into the maps, so users can select the area within the map in Access and show connected data related to the area shown. Or maybe other easier method.

I hope my question is clear and someone could show me the light.

Im curious to see the responses to this, as I also work in the geomatics industry. Im not so sure its ever going to work though, as you wont be able to manipulate the object in Access. You would have to export coordinates in ArcGIS to excel or something, and then import that into a database.
