## Access Roadmap

*There were *NO CHANGES* to the roadmap between last week (2022-07-30) and this week (2022-08-06).*

Listed below is a snapshot of the [official Access Roadmap](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Access). 

"In Development", "Rolling Out", and "Launched" are Microsoft terms that I pulled straight from the public roadmap. 

"Development Priorities" do not appear on the Access Roadmap. Instead, they get updated from time to time in official Access blog posts. I'll include a link to the official Access blog post that lists the current development priorities as they get updated.

#### Development Priorities

The items listed below reflect Microsoft's order of priority and were published in the following article, *[Changes to Our Public Roadmap and How We Communicate Access Feature Priorities](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access-blog/changes-to-our-public-roadmap-and-how-we-communicate-access/ba-p/3329075)*.

1. Inconsistent Database Error Fix
2. New (Modern) Web Browser Control (to support Chromium Edge)
3. Enabling Large Address Aware (LAA) for 32-Bit Access
4. SQL Monaco Editor
5. New Microsoft Graph Data Connector

#### In Development

None.

#### Rolling Out

None.

#### Launched

- `MAY 2022`: Access Dataverse Connector
- `JAN 2021`: Access: ODBC Interface Support (without ACE Redistributable Engine)
- `JAN 2021`: Access: DAO Interface Support (without ACE Redistributable Engine)
