"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)
