Power BI does support connection to Microsoft Access databases, but there are limitations. There is even a way it can be used with limited support for Power BI Service (online). Can you please clarify those limitations and the status by responding to the following more specific questions? Thanks for describing that useful workaround. For the following connection methods: A) import (embedded offline use), B) refreshable connection (import and scheduled or manual refresh), and/or C) live query supported? Which of the following cases are they supported with? 1) Use from Power BI Desktop app 2) Setup of connection from within Power BI Service (and/or Power BI Report Server?) 4) .pbix imported into Power BI Service (and/or Report Server?) 5) Installed Gateway connected to Access DB (for use from Desktop, Service, Report Server, and/or Mobile Apps?) 6) Mobile Apps (connecting to Gateway directly, to Service, or to .pbix on OneDrive, if possible?) Also, what, if any, further enhancements for Microosft Access support are under development now or planned? Thanks again for your help, Dan
