Is there a good version tracking program someone could recommend.

My problem is that I need to know what changed between versions of an access
2007 database. Because there is two people working on the database we can't
always tell what has changed between versions. I am wanting to know all the
way down to each control on every form/ vba on modules etc. If someone could
please let me know of a good application that could help me out I would
greatly appreciate it.

Depending upon your version, I think you'll find that Total Access Detective
from FMS, Inc. does a great job:

I like SourceSafe for version control, with the interface already built-in
to Access. You would need to purchase SourceSafe or some equivalent, and
install the (now) free Access version control add-in.

I use it as a single developer. It makes even more sense when you have more
than one developer. All Access objects are saved in text format, so every
change is noted. You can get a visual display of the differences between any
2 versions of any object.
