For years I maintained an Access data base for an organization I belonged to. The way that worked best for me was to run Windows with Access in a VM on my Fedora machine. That way, I could copy and past from LibreOffice to Access for any additions and updates needed.
I re-read the 1st post to this thread and it sounds like you want to "create an Access Database on F35 so my wife can use it also" Would it work for you to create a Libreoffice Base file on your F35 system and then install LibreOffice Base on her Windows computer?
Is it even possible to create an Access Database using Linux? Especially anything that could be kept in sync? Importing tables and queries is one thing but for using day to day??

On that kind of thing, a commercial application has zero interest in supporting anything else but their product, and will probably make it deliberately hard, or impossible, to do it any other way. They want as many paying customers as possible, they don't want to lose them to anything else.
Is it a case of the database has to be Access, or is it just continuing to use that product for inertia reasons?
If it has to be Access, and has to work without surprise failures (third-party interfaces to proprietary software are often incomplete or buggy), the simplest solution is probably to run their software in an emulator or virtual installation.
If it doesn't have to be Access, then now's the opportunity to work with something that is directly usable on all your computer systems, something that doesn't hold you captive to the claws of commercial products.
