The VSS Add-in needs to access the VBA in order to export or import VBA modules and Forms and Reports modules. If the VBA is unaccessible it will fail and you will not be able to use VSS. Some tips

It works with VSS 6.0 (= origonal version), but people recomd to install VB6 SP 6. How can you tell if you have SP6 installed? After installing SP6 your VSS version is changed from 6.0 to 6.0d. How does Access export its objects to VSS ----------------------------------------------- All the tables are exported as one binary file called XXXX.ACB The ACB also includes hidden Access properties . Forms, reports, macros. modules are exported into text files, one file per object. The files are stored in a sub-directory called xxxx.scc. It is these files that are actually stored into VSS. Access 2010 and VSS 6.0

Also how would I compile a database with all the different forms and reports and module? Kind Regards! Does VSS store the entire file as a binary MDB or does it store each form individually? Also how would I compile a database with all the different forms and reports and module?

Kind Regards!

And I really like it. I wonder if that's what all the banner ads were suggesting to me.... thanks. After noticing I had to BUY VSS, I tried SourceAnywhere for Access 2007 source control.
