I am a new Arc Objects user, with little ESRI experience.

We are using VBA to create a spatial report on a Map Control using a mdb table. The mdb table contains a Lat and Long field, and this data is collected in the Access application.

For the reporting, we need to display a map with the locations from the mdb table.

My questions are:

1. How do I access data in a mdb table, as spatial data? Does it have to be registered as spatial? I am not sure if this can be done at runtime or has to be done using Arc Catalog.
2. At runtime, if the data from the mdb table is in a spatially recognized table, do I just create a new layer, set the symbology, and then set a "where" clause on the new layer?
