Why the Dataverse connector?
Can anyone explain to me why Microsoft added a Dataverse connector to Access when you can't share an Access DB using Dataverse tables? I would love to know the logic on that piece.

What does it mean to say "one of the SP lists does not sync up to Access"? Please elaborate on what you do see. "Synch up" is not a commonly used term in this context, so before trying to guess what your problem is, we ought to know exactly what you are experiencing.
"Microsoft cobbled SP and DV together from 1980's technology"
Really? Do you honestly believe that SharePoint and Dataverse predate the internet and Windows? It's statements like that which make it increasingly difficult to lend credence to other claims.

What I mean by sync is that the sharepoint list is not updated from the respective Access form. As for the 1980's tech, I meant to say 1990's tech. I have coded websites from the ground up. From this perspective, SharePoint sites are lacking the basics of modern website features, especially when it comes to file and document management. The inability to customize where SPLists are uploaded is one example of lackluster design. Anyway, I'm moving on. I have the budget to build an SQL server. But I do appreciate your input.
