We are currently using Visual Studio 2017 and have several SSIS packages that were originally developed in older versions of Visual Studio. These packages utilize Microsoft Access Database Engine (Access drivers 12) to import and export Excel files (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsb) to and from SQL Server.
We have the following questions as we plan an upgrade:
What are the extended support end dates for:
Access Database Engine 2007 (Access drivers 12)
**Access Database Engine 2016 (Access drivers 16)**
If we upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio (e.g., 2019 or 2022), what are the **latest supported Access driver options** for SSIS?
What are the **extended support end dates** for those newer driver versions?
We would appreciate any guidance or official documentation links to help ensure compatibility and long-term support as we move forward.
