Is it the Version Control Wizard from Peter Hallinan of 3rdmillennium.com ?

If so, the latest version that I received from him was version 5.02.

I can dig up his email address for you if you need it. 

It worked great in Access97. We have switched over to a home grown VB app that a co-worker developed for our A2K ADP. When the db is opened it checks to see if a newer FE is available, if so it launches the FE update installer. The installer was created with Wise so we scripted the installer to check if the FE is opened, if so, it closes it then installs the FE. Wise also creates a backup to the FE (or any file that is over-written if you should choose to do so), so if you where using an mdb instead you could import adhoc queries from the back up...pretty neat.

List,

The code I sent her allowed all objects in the ADP
to be saved to text files and stored in VSS.  That
includes diagrams, server views, stored procedures,
etc.  I found this method as a hidden method of the
Access Application object.

Just a different way of doing it.

I have not tried VSS since MSA 97 because it was
so difficult to use.  I use a tool called Version
Control back then that was an Access add-in.  I
wish I could find the author and get an updated
version.  So, I stand corrected on my "No" response.
