Ken this is a very interesting subject.... and warrants further research. Though it is not immediately relatable to the current versions of Access, I will not be surprised when these model variants start to morph 'our' database.

Theoretical questions aside, the notable object-data systems doing useful things now are the open-source web frameworks using the Model-View-Controller model. Ruby on Rails is the prime example. Since I have far from a deep understanding of MVC, I will just point out that the data objects are modeled in code, and changes in the data objects are reflected to the table structure of the underlying database. One challenge that future OO DBMS projects will have is equalling or bettering the ease-of-use of these MVC frameworks. One thing is certain: they'll never beat the price.
