Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.



SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following warning message when you open Microsoft Access 97 after installing the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools (ODE Tools):

You don't have a source code control program (such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe) installed on your machine. The source code control commands are therefore not available.

Do you want to see this warning again?



CAUSE
You receive the warning message if you install the Microsoft Access Source Code Control component of ODE Tools, but you do not have source code control software, such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, installed. This warning also appears if you have Microsoft Visual SourceSafe installed on your computer, but you only installed the server component and not the client component.



RESOLUTION
If you do not intend to use source code control software, you can disable the warning message by clicking No at the "Do you want to see this warning again?" prompt.

If you plan to install Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, be sure to install the Client Program (Intel 32-bit) component (in Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version 5.0), or the Network Client Setup component (in Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version 4.0) on your computer. If you do not install the client component, the warning message still appears in Microsoft Access.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The Microsoft Access Source Code Control component of ODE Tools installs the following files on your computer:

File Name Description
Accscc.dll Source code control add-in Addsccus.dll Localization file for source code control add-in Sccaccus.hlp Source code control Help file Sccaccus.cnt Source code control Help file component Sccaccus.fts Source code control Help file component Sccaccus.gid Source code control Help file component Sccaccus.ftg Source code control Help file component Sscontrl.doc Source code control White paper

If you do not plan to use source code control with Microsoft Access 97, you can recover approximately 1 megabyte (MB) of hard disk space by removing this ODE Tools component from your computer.
