Check out what's on the horizon for the next 14 months. - Author: Mike Wolfe - Tags: Announcement, #Import 2026-05-20 02:59 Microsoft updated the [official Access roadmap](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Access) at the end of October 2021. Here–in chronological order–is what's new and upcoming for our favorite Office application: --- ## Recently Added Features ### ODBC Interface Support (without ACE Redistributable Engine) *General Availability: *January 2021** > If you have O365, or click-to-run versions of Access 2016/2019 Consumer installed, you will no longer need to install the ACE Redistributable to use the ACE ODBC provider. ### DAO Interface Support (without ACE Redistributable Engine) *General Availability: *January 2021** > If you have O365, or click-to-run versions of Access 2016/2019 Consumer installed, you will no longer need to install the ACE Redistributable to use the ACE DAO provider. --- ## Currently In Preview ### Dataverse Connector *Preview: *November 2021** *General Availability: *March 2022** > We are providing a collaborative platform for you to integrate your data and applications into the cloud/mobile-based world through Dataverse while continuing to preserve the Access Desktop value. This opens a realm of opportunities to share and collaborate on your apps & data in our consistently growing Teams and Power Apps/Dataverse ecosystems. --- ## Scheduled ### New Microsoft Graph Data Connector *General Availability: *March 2022** > Link to or import from Microsoft Graph services to build Access applications that can leverage the smart contextual data stored in the Graph. ### New (Modern) Web Browser Control (to support Chromium Edge) *General Availability: *September 2022** > Improve and increase the efficiency of your browsing capabilities through our Modern Web BrowserControl, which will support our new Chromium Edge browser. ### Enabling Large Address Aware (LAA) for 32-Bit Access *General Availability: *September 2022** > 32-bit Access will become Large Address Aware (LAA) to address 4G of memory, rather than 2G. Read my article, [Large Address Aware Flag](https://nolongerset.com/laa-flag/), for more information. ### SQL Monaco Editor *General Availability: *December 2022** > Use the embedded Monaco Editor, the same editor used for Visual Studio Code, in Access. --- Here's to hoping Microsoft is able to hit a few of these estimates, especially since many of them have already been delayed by 6 -12 months (looking at you, Large Address Aware feature). In the meantime, we'll have to make do with [creative workarounds](https://codekabinett.com/rdumps.php?Lang=2&targetDoc=largeaddressaware-msaccess-exe) and [migrating to 64-bit wherever possible](https://nolongerset.com/64-bit-now-the-default/). ### External references [Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365The Microsoft 365 Roadmap lists updates that are currently planned for applicable subscribers.
