Source control for MS Access
I'm using VS .NET 2003 and Office Developer 2000.
I want to create Access database as part of VS project,
which is under Visual Source Safe control.
I have the following problems:
1. If I create the database in Access 2000 (without source
control), and after that I add it in VS project, it puts
the .mdb file in SourceSafe, but when I try to open it
again in Access for editing, it reports that the database
is read-only. And no source control functionality.
2. If I create the database in Access 2000, and I select
Tools/SourceSafe/Add database to ..., it creates the
project branch in VSS, but does not add anything in source
safe, but it creates .scc folder in the folder where
the .mdb file is stored. This .scc folder is also empty.
This database will be used as storage for the VS .NET
project I work on. So I want it to be part of the project
and to be source controlled during development, even it
edited in Access.
Also, I mentioned, that in Access/Tools/SourceSafe... I
have only 4 menu items: Create from SS project, Add to SS,
Run VSS and Options. It seems that there should be more,
but ...
I have uninstalled the Add-in and ActiveX part of Office
Developer and after that I installed it again, but it's
the same as before.
