I see. Iirc, Access was too much developer-oriented last time I checked it around 20 years ago. As a developer you can just step up and try to take control, but users have no such courage. If excel merged parts of access later into a single product, suggesting, but not forcing users to maintain at least a partial scheme, then maybe. Sort of in-place gradual migration without “work here or go back” next morning ultimatums.
