Is there a way to compare versions of an mdb file?

[Guest]

I am trying to compare an mdb file (saved in clearcase) with its predecessor.
Is there a way to do this within access or outside of access.
I can export the file, but I don't seem to get everything as when I try to
import it
back, things that were check boxes no show up as integers.

thanks

Dave Rich, a fellow Coloradan, once published an article with code
that peformed the compare. I got permsion from him to publish the
code from my downloads page.

Access 97 Utility to compare Create/Modify dates of objects in two
versions of the same mdb file. Created by Dave Rich and available
at the Geotech Computer Systems web site.

Check out Dave's new, updated, Access 2000 version of Compare DBs application.

I should have specified that this is for access 2003 files.

Well, I haven't looked at this code for a long time, but isn't the source
code included? Did you try to upsize it?

If that's not possible, then check out Dave's site for a new version of code.

Yup ... all you have to do is convert it to Access 2003. I upsized it
to Access XP, which is what I have on the computer I'm currently at,
and it worked fine.
