I wanted to share an upcoming online meeting that could be of interest to some. This is your chance of meeting the ‘New’ Access Program Manager and get some information on the new Dataverse Connector for Microsoft Access.
Hopefully, he’ll be able to shed some more light on the Connector itself, Dataverse and how this is an asset to the Access community. I’m hoping we get more information that what was part of the inaugural announcement on the subject at the Access Session At Microsoft Ignite. Maybe cover things like:
- licensing requirements/cost
- limitations
- how this compares to using say Azure SQL
- etc.
If we’re lucky, he may also let us see a little of what is going on behind the curtain and perhaps share his vision of the product in the next few months, years.

Previous Sessions/Recordings
DAAUG – November 2021
I was just made aware of a new YouTube video from the Denver Area Users Group (DAAUG) on this very subject by the same speaker from November 18th, 2021. The description of the session is:
This presentation will focus on the state of Access today, and our focus on keeping Access relevant for companies in a cloud-based world, including the latest news and demos from Microsoft Ignite.
Michael was first involved in Access as the first Office Product manager in Hong Kong in 1994 when it debuted as part of Office Professional 4.3. He has been working at Microsoft for over 20 years, and on Microsoft 365 developer experiences for the last 4 years, creating the Microsoft 365 Developer Program, which he also still runs. Michael is also a Denver, Colorado native and still bleeds orange on Sunday’s cheering on the Denver Broncos.DAAUG
So if your want to learn more on the subject of Dataverse of Access, then this session is well worth your time.

Is it possible to have a list of changes you would like to make for this template?
Do we have to be MVP to participate in this project?
