I regularly use a tablet with Access apps. Currently I use a 12 inch tablet but I've also used a 10 inch one successfully.
Most of my commercial and example databases will run successfully on a tablet and a few are specifically designed for tablet use.
For best results, I suggest you
1. use automatic form resizing so forms display properly on any size/shape/resolution screen from tablet up to around 22 inch monitor.
Use automatic form resizing (AFR) to ensure that forms and their controls are automatically resized and repositioned for any screen size & resolution. It can also be used to add a zoom feature to Access forms

2. ensure the form design has controls that aren't too close together and are large enough for touch screen use
For example, see
This example app shows a typical patient login system similar to that used in my local medical practice. It is intended for use on a touch screen with no keyboard and occupies the entire screen (kiosk mode).

3. Minimize the need for keyboard entry as far as possible e.g. using combos to select items. Where keyboard entry is necessary, a zoom box can be used so the on screen keyboard (OSK) doesn't block the textbox. Of course the OSK can be dragged around the screen if needed
See forms 1-3 in
This article demonstrates how to accurately move forms & controls based on the various units of measurement used in Windows applications (pixels, points and twips) together with the little known and undocumented VBA Wizhook function

However actually designing on a tablet isn't ideal as the Access interface isn't completely suited to touchscreen use.

Better to design on a PC/laptop and test in the tablet
