Details

We are introducing an Access automation feature for Power Automate Desktop. It offers dedicated actions to simplify setting up Access DB automations by eliminating the need for UI workarounds. This feature is now fully available.

How does this affect me?
The Access automation feature allows makers to interact with locally stored Access databases. Makers can create an Access instance using the 'Launch Access' action. This instance serves as the input parameter for the rest of the actions, allowing makers to perform the following actions on the desired Access database:
  • Launch Access
  • Close Access
  • Read Access table
  • Run Access query
  • Run Access macro
What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness and no action is required.
