Today, May 11, 2022, Microsoft released the Access Migration to Power Apps and Dataverse to General Availability. Microsoft Access users will not be able to migrate their data into Power Apps and Dataverse.
Customers will not be able to make use of the Dataverse Connector or Migration Tool. The Access migration tool and connector provided within MS Access streamlines the process of migrating tables, relationships, and data with setup taking just a few minutes, and migration handled for you.
With this feature now in General Availability, customers of Microsoft Access are now just a click away from unlocking the following capabilities for the data currently managed in the Access Database:
- New security and compliance capabilities through Dataverse cloud storage using Azure Active Directory and role-based security while managing it from Access
- The ability to have real-time sharing and editing of Access data using cloud-based data stores, with front-end apps created in Access, Power Apps Mobile and Microsoft Teams
- New front end app scenarios on mobile devices or with Microsoft Teams
