Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v7.7 for Access now includes 32bit version!
Hi Klaus,
I don't know the actual reasons that have lead to the decision by the SSMA team to support 32 bit again. We've reported the problem several times at MS but maybe that did nothing and there was e.g. just an intervention by a big client that moved things.
In any case, your blog has always been our most up-to-date information source and reference on this, in addition that you've kept Juan, me and others informed by PM when there's been a new development. So I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank you for your persistent work on this important matter for the Access community.

Thanks for the article about the Microsoft major re-org.
Why do you think that it might relate to us finally getting a 32-bit SSMA?
Do you, or does anyone else, think this re-org spells good news or is concerning when it comes to the future of Microsoft Access?
I provided a summary of the major Microsoft reorg and notes on possible implications - what the divisions are now, and which products fall under which, and some possible concerns about how they are split up - in my follow-up to the Future of Microsoft Access thread here (which also sums up recent and upcoming Access updates), if anyone is interested.I'd welcome and appreciate there any thoughts on implications of the re-org and other questions and suggestions you might have regarding the future of Microsoft Access and suggested integrations (Cloud, PowerApps, Common Data Service, Graph) and updates (VSTO and beyond).
