Add collapsible sections/regions to forms. Something similar to the existing form header/footers layouts.
The ability to hide/unhide areas of the form would really help cleanup the UI and help enhance the user experience.

Allow Control-A to Select All in Query Design View
In previous versions of Access, I could use Control-A to select all fields in a table within the query design view, then Control-Click on the certain field(s) to de-select. It is not always preferential to use the asterisk, particularly if you are doing something other than a delete query. This used to be supported, but looks like it went away after I upgraded to Office365. Thanks.

Create a new Comprehensive Windows Installer for Access Applications.
Access needs a quick way to get a good solid installation of Back-end and Front-end databases including a registry edit for Trusted locations and versioning.
It should also include the ability to:
Add Icons,
Add Desktop and other shortcuts,
Allow user to accept an ELUA (End User License Agreement)
Run simple scripts,
Install with full windows trust. (maybe with a certificate?)
An uninstaller.
A check for updates function.
Install support files into specified folders.
Read simple system values and react accordingly (eg if 64bit systems then install 64 bit ODBC Driver)
Also it would be nice if it could notify…86 votes -

please fix the jump occurring when scrolling in the navigation pane of Access 2016
When scrolling in the navigation pane of Access 2016 on a Windows 10 box, the list always 'jumps" back up to a higher place than I have scrolled to. Though I have applied a few changes to my mouse and set screen enlargement to 100% (which is not realistic for me as the font is too small), the screen still jumps. I never had an issue in previous versions of Access. From researching a fix, It appears to be a long standing and unaddressed issue. It's a migraine trigger when the screen jumps and I'm trying to find something in…

Enable Access to work with Azure Multi-Factor Authentication
There seems to be no way of allowing Access to link to an Azure SQL database where Azure Active Directory Multi-Factor Authentication has been enabled. This means that if an IT department switches on MFA Access can't connect to an Azure SQL database it can connect to where MFA has not been activated.
If I have missed something, please tell me!

Protect data
It needs to be more difficult to accidentally delete data in the database. I don't know how you do this, but all I know is Access automatically saves changes even when I don't want it to. If I accidentally delete something, it's gone forever.

Develop the SQL User Interface
SQL is something that I find particularly useful when I am running a database. However, the SQL user interface is very poor in my opinion. It should be more something like the Visual Basic interface, where when you start typing in a formula, then it has a dropdown with all your options and when you select the function from the dropdown, it will show you how to build the formula. For me it becomes very time consuming to have to go online to figure out how the function is built. Also it would be great if it can be colour…

Make the 'Compact and Repair Database' function automatic on saves
Access file sizes grow rapidly, even if there's no database in use. PC's are fast enough to do the Compact and Repair function with very little delay in saving files. At least make it an option in the Current Database settings.
