Hi,
We have quite a large Db which always requires the updating of new features etc. I update some bits while my collegue works on others.
I was just wondering if there's a good way of "merging" the 2 Db's together? Is this the syncronising bit, or does that just refer to data?
Basically, we shouldn't update the same forms/ queries as we are assigned specific jobs so no they're not going to effect each other.
It's just that when we come together it's a case of "OK, what have you updated?" and we have to through each section, hopefully we've written them all down!
:o
Any suggestions as always, much appreciated.
Matt

Have you looked into Visual Source Safe?

Hmm, a quick "Google" brought back this "Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe is bad software. You will regret using it. Here are details on the problems with Visual SourceSafe." Do you have any experience yourself?

Unfortunately No. The individual in that article definately had some issues with the product but has a link to other such products. Did you follow it? Some are free and acceptable to the author.

Having a look at "tortoisesvn", no idea how it works, but I'll download at home and have a look, not sure if I should install at work just yet. Thanks again.
