• Closer integration with Sharepoint and web development. From Albert D Kallal:

Here is a video of an application I wrote in access 2010. Note how at the half way I run the same application including the Access forms in a standard web browser. This application was built 100% inside of the Access client. The end result needs no ActiveX or Silverlight to run.

• Access 2010 data macros (similar to triggers)

A key concept about data macros is they don’t have any UI. You can call Named data macros passing parameters from a UI macro but data macro can’t open a form or invoke a message box. They return errors that UI macros can catch and display to the user. These errors are also logged to the UsysApplicationLog table. This is a special table that keeps a history of data macro failures and other useful debug information you choose to write to it.
