Any thoughts?
Yes, what is the actual question?

What is it that the thing does.
And more importantly, what do you need it to do.You can definitely replace Access with some cloud based thing. But you'll probably find if it's a 10yr old app then you've got lots of stuff you don't need any more, and other things it doesn't do that would be useful.
I'd be more inclined to find the product you need then figure out how to get any relevant data from access into that (and/or bin what you don't need). Rather than migrating Access to cloud database and then having a 10yr old app in a shiny wrapper.

SQL database and tableau?

..and if you skip analysis, the danger is you find yourself using the system which looked nicest/was the cheapest to set up/was what your CEO's golf partner sells, but doesn't actually do what it was expected to.

I have a shitty Microsoft Access database at work which everyone hates.
Shitty in the sense that the user interface looks very 20th century and that mac users like myself must have some expensive Citrix thingie in order to use it.
We are currently looking to migrate the whole thing over to something cloud based with (ideally) web based interface, but retaining all the same fundamental functions such as order forms, various reports etc. From snooping around on the server my impression is that we have combo of Microsoft Access/Oracle/MySQL but I really have no idea.
Any thoughts?
