    This is important for UWP/Fluent -like apps for Windows 10.

    Let's dump macros altogether and just use VB only. Let's make Access itself smaller.

    This would make it more efficient to add read-only documents inside forms. For example, to add a tab with an End User License Agreement (200+ words) takes a lot of labels and text boxes, quickly filling up the form and taking huge amounts of storage. It'd be better to add a single HTML page from another source.

    SVG Image support would also help in making UWP/Fluent compliant interfaces.

    I'm not sure how practical this really is, but if you go this route you might as well have Access build a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can run on anything.

    This should be a simple setting under "Current Database" in the options. Likewise, it should be easy to set the top/left corner and height/width of the form relative to the screen--not just inside the Access app.

    The Conditional Formatting in Excel is a good starting point. The UI there is a little confusing, but it's very powerful!

    This also underscores my request for UWP/Fluent controls...

    This is a good idea, but I'd be happy with at least 2-3 user-definable properties that we can use for our own purposes. Right now, I use the .tag property for this, but it's kind of a kludge.

    This should include supporting all SQL Server datatypes, the same SQL language, real SQL parameter support, rules, etc...

    And don't stop there: match SQL Server terminology, like Views instead of Queries. If you take this far enough, you could dump both JET and ACE. That said, we don't want a copy of SQL Server added to the package.
