Keep in mind
There are no official announcements(from MSFT) that Access is being 
discontinued.
  - Support for Access 2019 ends in Oct 2025
  => Access will continue to run but no longer receive updates or 
security fixes
  => Access 2019 functionality after that date could eventually be 
limited to supported o/s.

  => Access is included in consumer M365 plans(current M365 is version 2024)
  => Access is included in Business M365 2024 plans(Standard, Premium, 
Business Apps, but not in Business Basic)
  => Access is expected to continue inclusion in specific editions of 
perpetual(non-subscriptin) M365 office versions(e.g. Office Pro Plus 2024)
  => Access perpetual/stand-alone(not M365) version 2024 remains available
