[AccessD] From your friendly moderator

Some of that is already here with Managed Add-ins for Access 2007 and MS 
Visual Studio 2005
I use VB.Net but any other language could be used like Cobol.Net.  You 
can also do this directly
with a VB.Net dll & tlb with a COM Class template too.
One of these days, I'll try to get a SQL query using XLINQ to return XML 
rather than a
recordset to Access but that requires Net Framework 3.0 or 3.5 and SQL 2005

Here is Ken Getz's article on it.

Where it might get wilder.

This week Microsoft's announced that the next release of SQL Server,
SQL Server 2008, expected next year, will include support for spatial data.
Probably done with an R* indexed data engine. This means you can handle
GIS geocoded data from Access as a frontend. You can do this now with ESRI
SQL Server 2008 is called Katmai, see Shamil now they are using volcanoes.
