Can i provision an Azure VM with Microsoft Access runtime and a SQL Server ODBC driver? I don't need Office 365, just want user to hook into an Azure db which I've created. No data is stored in the front-end .accde file. If it is possible to provision the AVM with a gallery MS Access runtime, I presume I'd also need to allocate a storage resource to hold the accde front end file? Thanks.

    There is not an existing VM image that contains the Access Runtime and SQL ODBC driver, so to get a VM with this you would need to do one of the following:

    • Deploy a VM and manually install this software
    • Using the PowerShell DSC or custom script extension as part of the deployment to install this software at deploy time
    • Create a custom image with the software pre-configured
