[AccessD] Access and source control

[Arthur Fuller]

I'd be interested, as well as skeptical. The only way I can see it working
with Access is if it exports all the code required to create the objects
from scratch; how else could it achieve the fine grain necessary for proper
version control? Until reading this, I have always thought of Access's
all-in-one storage as simultaneously a great feature and a great liability.
I'd be especially interested in hearing from anyone who has used this
technology. Specifically, create an initial version of some Access project,
store it in the repository, then make a few changes to a few forms, queries
and reports and store that as a new version; finally, roll back only those
changes to the original version.

On re-reading the page, it looks as though it won't work for me, since it
appears to require a 32-bit OS, and both my machines are running 64-bit.
