[AccessD] Access & VSS & Vs.Net

Have you tried reinstalling the client for VSS?  I've got VSS 6.0 (vanilla, I believe) working with A97 and I just discovered it works fine with AXP as well.  VSS client was installed after both versions of Access and not from the developer tools for OXP.

OS = XP
Office = XP
OfficeDevKit = XP
VS.Net = 1.0 + patches

VSS is hooked into VS.Net no problemo.
Somehow the install of VS.Net broke the install of VSS (as seen by AXP). The first time I try to open any module in any MDB or ADP, I get a message that VSS 6.0c is not installed. Well it is, but somehow the VS.Net install hijacked all the settings Access used to recognize. Does anyone know how I can install one instance of VSS for Access, and another for VS.Net? Or alternatively, to make Access recognize the VS.Net instance of VSS? Coding without version control is like safecracking without gloves :-) I need to fix this! A

They do not me to install one of my copies, for licensing reasons. And I am told that they do not have a copy.

I was hoping that someone knew/knows of a way to make use of VSS without the Access client installed, locally. 

I recall, having worked at a place where we simply checked out the mdb file, worked on it, and checked it in at the end of the day. This process went on until the mdb was ready for production. The environment was an NT 4.0 network as well as NT 4.0 local machines with Office 95 Pro. I do not recall whether the local machines had ODE (or was it the Developer's Tool Kit then) on them.

Perhaps I should state the question as: "Can one store mdb files in VSS, check out the development version, make changes and check it back in to VSS? All of this without the Local VSS client installed?" This, of course, presumes that you have the appropriate VSS rights.

VSS is a developer's tool, so you need the developer's edition and the client version of VSS to use it with Access.  Is there a reason you're looking for another way?

When you say Access Developer Tools do you mean the Microsoft Office Developers edition? If so do you or does anyone else know of any other way?

TIA,
Glen

Glen,

If you install the Access Developer Tools you get Sourcesafe support in Access. Where your SourceSafe database is located that doesn´t matter.

Hi All



Can anyone tell me what is required to use Visual Source Safe with Access?



I am running W2KPro and OfficeXPPro on my local machine. VSS would/is installed on a network shared drive.
