[AccessD] Subversion was (Re: OMG!!!!!!)

Good point Bryan.... 

I am not sure.:-/ I have never separated out a product like MS Access and
have always saved the application as a whole. Could see where that feature
could come in very handy. Even when working with a remote programming buddy
we have always kept to our own modules. 

Ever since a project got corrupted, a number of years ago I have not
attempted merging. (Is it safe now?) Maybe these issues have now been
resolved?

I thought you take a course to learn good stuff :-)

Jim 

PS I am always getting confused with the use of VSS. Never know whether
Visual Safe Source or Volume Shadow copy Services is been discussed.

See what happens when you take a course. You miss good stuff :)

Jim,

With Subversion, can you check in individual components of an MDB, or
is it just the whole file?

IOW, can you check in queries, reports, forms, etc separately like you
can with VSS?
