I have an access database which holds several sites. This is linked to a MapInfo TAB file which holds geometry for each site.

I would like for our non-GIS users to be able to view the sites in an interactive way (i.e. a slippy map with layers, not just a static image - I've already got static images in there) rather than having to boot up MapInfo or, worse, ask someone else to...

I have embedded a MapInfo mapper inside a form but distributing this has proved to be more expensive than I originally expectedmore expensive than I originally expected (though to be fair my expectations may have been unreasonable!).

As far as I know it is not possible to embed HTML in a form - otherwise I would use OpenLayers or similar.

I could include a link to a web-based map but that isn't ideal...

Any suggestions? What software is available for this sort of thing?
