Access' Source Control with TFS???

[ahjeck]

Hi,

I am trying to source control my modules and macros for my Access 2007 databases. I have installed the office developer's kit which enables the Source Control feature. In the features of Source Control, MS mentioned that developers may use Visual Source Safe or 'other' source control apps.

I have been searching for a bit but could not find anything other than tutorials about VSS. Does anyone know which other source controls work?

The main reason I ask is because my network admin is using the new MS Team Foundation Server (TFS) and wanted to know if Access allows source control w/ that.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

I use VSS which is a bit slow espcially if you are using it with WAN and used it to transfer large files. I don't understand your question:

Access allows source control w/ that.

Can you elaborate please?

Thanks for the reply Bee,

What I meant was whether TFS provides source control support for MS Access. I understand that VSS is a viable option for Access, but wanted to know whether TFS has the same capability for Access.

TFS seems to have a feature of source controlling in Visual Studio, but was unsure whether it can be used for Access.

I believe TFS is a relatively new tool, but I have searched all over and could not find a solution.

TFS provides source control support for MS Access. You can check the following article for more details:
