Actually, with a regular MDB you can. IIRC for tables and queries 
it's an all or nothing proposition, but with forms, reports and code 
modules you can check in/out the individual components.

All this assumes you have The Developer's tools and have installed 
the VSS Access Integration bits.

I know Charlotte uses(used) VSS quite a lot with Access, so you may 
get a better response on VSS and Access over on AccessD.
