Hi,

We are having problems with VSS2005 and MS Access 2003. We have installed
the add-in and patch onto the server copy of VSS. We have multiple developers
who need to work on one MS Access database. So basically we need to be able
to check out different modules/queries/forms, etc at the same time from
different users. So far the only person who actually loaded the access
database into VSS can use the VSS functionality within MS Access. No-one else
can check in/out.

Can anyone help? Please treat me as a complete novice with VSS...

Each user has to create a new copy of the Access db from Sourcesafe. The
sourcesafe add-in has to be installed on each developer's workstation. On a
developer's workstation, open Access but don't open a db. On the Tools menu,
Sourcesafe, choose to create a new db from Sourcesafe. You have to keep that
db in the folder in which you created it, with the same db name. Now that
developer should be able to check out objects, update them, and check them
back in. Other developers can either recreate their local db from Sourcesafe
to get the updates, or right-click the particular object and choose Get
Latest from the popup menu.

Paul,

Thank you, we'll give it a go. Any objections if I get back in touch if we
run into any snags? Or have any additional queries?

Feel free to contact me. If it's not of general interest, you can use the
email address in this message by removing "hideme".
