Process for Developing Access Applications Remotely

[ScottMsp]

I am looking for recommendations on a process that will allow two people, who
are developing an Access application, to develop the application remotely
from each other.

What tools, process, and so on would you recommend. The concerns we are
trying to address is:
1. Where should they store the application? Should it be stored on a
remote server so that either can access it?
2. How can two people work on the develop on it without causing any sort of
system locks

I am sure there are several other things that needs to be addressed, so
looking for any and all thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Remotely? You mean, to developers are working on one Access application
at the same time?

Good communication in general and

Will that work for remote users?

hi Tony,

Sure, why not? While it's not a large project, it's at least a
distributed team.

Hello,

I presume visual sourcesafe has a cost or is it built into Access itself?

The two person team is not a team of programmers per se, but they know how
to write simple visual basic code, but they definitely know how to develop
queries, forms, tables. Is visual sourcesafe more for the visual basic
(looked like it was part of visual studio).

Any recommendations is helpful. Our hope is to spend the most time on
developing the access application and not learning how to use software
development tools (looking for simple solutions).

Thanks in advance.

Visual SourceSafe is not for free nor built into Access itself. But the
first link I've posted should have explained it.

developing the access application and not learning how to use software
development tools (looking for simple solutions).

The Access plug-in allows you to work on single objects and versionize them.
