[AccessD] VSS - Build from source error question...

That looks right to me.  If you see the VSS toolbar in Access, you have
the add-in, although there is a later version of VSS and the 2003 add-in
works in AXP, at least against the latest version of VSS.  What happens
if you simply delete those files (not permanently) in source safe?

Hang on!  I just realized why the ACS extension wasn't familiar.  In
Access, those represent macros (i.e., scripts), which we never really
use.  You may be able to recreate them if it's just things like AutoExce
and Autokeys.

What is the correct order to install this stuff.

Here's the way I did it:

1) Install Access 97
2) Install Access 97 dev tools
3) Install Office XP
4) Install Office XP dev tools
5) Install VSS client (6.0c)

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Charlotte,

I am running Access XP.  I installed the XP Developer Tools also.  The I
installed the VSS 6.0c client.  Did I miss something?  I can see the VSS
toolbar in Access.

I had never seen the .ACS files either.

I am thinking that I have not installed something or that I did
something out of order.

Bobby

Normally, forms and subforms have the ACF file extension, reports and
subreports have ACR, queries have ACQ, modules have ACM and the ACB and
CAN files contain the miscellaneous data objects. I've never run into
ACS files so they must be for objects we don't use.

You have the current Access VSS add-in installed?  The 2003 add-in is
supposed to work for XP as well.

Hey,

I rebuilt my machine here at work and was trying to build from source in
VSS.  It gave me many "can not import file xxx' messages.  The ones
giving this error are some of the form and report files.

When I look at the .SCC directory under my project, I see 221 objects
(out of 1457 objects) that have as their type 'Microsoft Agent Character
File (HTTP format)' and 27 objects that have the type 'Microsoft Agent
Character File'.

It looks like only the .ACF files get the 'Microsoft Agent Character
File (HTTP format)' type and the .ACS files get the 'Microsoft Agent
Character File' type.

Has anyone run into this before?  Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks,
Bobby
