## Access Roadmap

*Microsoft finally updated the Roadmap!!!!*

*The *"New Modern Web Browser Form Control*" appeared on the roadmap between the last Week in Review (2023-01-28) and this one (2023-02-04). The [development priorities](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access-blog/our-road-ahead-microsoft-access-engineering-priorities-oct-2022/ba-p/3651894) were last updated on October 12, 2022.*

---

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, *[Our Road Ahead - Microsoft Access Engineering Priorities Oct 2022](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access-blog/our-road-ahead-microsoft-access-engineering-priorities-oct-2022/ba-p/3651894)*.

New priorities added since the [previous set of priorities](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access-blog/changes-to-our-public-roadmap-and-how-we-communicate-access/ba-p/3329075) are shown in bold below. Dropped priorities are struck through.

1. **Continued Focus on Monthly Issue Fixes** *(Monthly Issue Fix Blog)*
2. Inconsistent Database Error Fix
3. **New Macro Signing Support**
4. New (Modern) Web Browser Control (to support Chromium Edge)
5. **Dataverse Connector Data Type Support for Floating Point**
6. **Dataverse Connector Data Type Support for Rich Text**
7. **Dataverse Connector support to export to a specific Dataverse solution or publisher**
8. ~~Enabling Large Address Aware (LAA) for 32-Bit Access~~
9. ~~SQL Monaco Editor~~
10. ~~New Microsoft Graph Data Connector~~

#### In Development

- `MAR 2023`: New Modern Web Browser Form Control

#### Rolling Out

#### Launched
