[AccessD] Access XP Meltdowns

We can't quit using VSS because there are three of us actively
developing and sharing code between projects.  Since the code is also in
a state of development, a code library is out of the question.  Unless
there's a better alternative to VSS someone can suggest, we're stuck
with VSS.  We never saw this kind of problem with VSS and Access 97, so
it may be the interaction between VSS and AXP that is causing some
difficulties, but in that case, I wouldn't expect to see it in files
that are not linked to VSS.

Charlotte,

I have to agree with William, in that we have been using A02 for some
time now without any problems.  We quit using VisualSourceSafe for new
projects because we were having too many problems with it.

...been using AXP for a long while now in a variety of environments with
nothing like you describe ...but I'm an independent and don't use
SourceSafe so you might want to take a look there ...HTH :)

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and
degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing
is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is
willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal
safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless
made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."  John
