VSS isn't the best product in the world, but its the only source code control system I know that is integrated with MS-Access...
I've been thinking how hard would it be to get another source code control system (such as CVS or Subversion/SVN)working with Access on an object level.
You'd need to be able to export all the objects to text, there are some hidden methods that will do most of it. Data also could be exported as text. Much of the rest could be done by iterating through collections such as tabledefs. You could even record the security on objects properly.
Is it possible to set the control icons used by sourcesafe.
Is it worth having a go, and getting a proper source code control system working with access.
