Version control

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,

Any ideas and/or suggestions on implementing version control with Access? I am working on a project which will require modifications to a 3rd party written Access database. There are a couple dozen forms, a few classes and modules, etc. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

It'd have to say I'd probably use SourceSafe for versioning control.

For the benefit of others, here are some links pertaining to using SourceSafe with Access. You have to download and install Access Developer Extensions, afterwhich SourceControl options will be added to various menus and/or ribbons, depending upon the Access version you are using.
