====== Microsoft Access Version Control Integration ======

{{ ::icon.png?nolink|}} Synchronize your Access Forms, Macros, Modules, Queries, and Reports with a version control system.

//This code is built and tested on Microsoft Access 2010. It will probably work in earlier versions, but YMMV.//

The Microsoft Access code module in this project provides functions to export and import all of your Access objects to plain text files so that you can use a version control tool to track changes in these objects. For Access objects which are normally exported in <wrap sym>UCS-2-little-endian</wrap> encoding, the included module automatically converts to the source code to and from <wrap sym>UTF-8</wrap> encoding during export/import; this is to ensure that you don't have trouble branching, merging, and comparing in tools such as Mercurial which [[https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/BinaryFiles|treat any file containing 0x00 bytes as a non-diffable binary file]].

//Note: I originated this software and hosted it on [[https://github.com/bkidwell/msaccess-vcs-integration|my GitHub account]], but I no longer actively maintain it. **timabell** maintains the [[https://github.com/timabell/msaccess-vcs-integration|current fork on GitHub]].//
