Should I upgrade to Access 2016 or 2021
Hello - I have been using Microsoft Access 2010 for many years. It has been a great tool because it allows me to use it's drag and drop "intuitive" interface to create macros that I can run daily ...
Why would you not choose the newest available version, given that there are no fundamental differences in the way they work?
If there are any any chances in macros, they would be enhancements for the most part.
" ... a basic option that uses MySQL or other SQL databases....but designed to be used by non-programmer types)...."
Those databases are MORE likely to require more advanced skills than Access.

George_Hepworth you make a great point. Hence the reason for my question. I wanted to make sure the latest version will continue to work for me (so I don’t have to change all the old queries and automation that has been set up). Sounds like the new versions will work and that I had previously been misinformed.
- It's good to be informed. I just wanted to point out that the chances of a regression in usability are far, far less than the chances of improvements. That's not to say there are no bugs in any version, of course.
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for false ideas about Access to be circulated. And again, it is wise to be cautious about such rumors.
Continued success with your project.
