PRB: SourceSafe Commands not Available for RunCommand Method

ID: Q162931


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access 97


SYMPTOMS

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

You can use the new RunCommand method to execute menu commands in Microsoft Access 97, and, in general, most of the application's functionality is available using this method.

However, the RunCommand method does not expose the menu commands to control Visual SourceSafe Integration from either Visual Basic for Applications code or macros.

This article assumes that you are familiar with using the client-side capabilities of Visual SourceSafe. For more information about Visual SourceSafe, please refer to the "Visual SourceSafe User's Guide" or Help topics available from the Visual SourceSafe menu.


CAUSE

Microsoft Access 97 does not expose a programmatic interface to Visual SourceSafe integration.


RESOLUTION

You can control Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version 5.0 using OLE Automation from Visual Basic for Applications code. You can obtain information concerning this functionality by searching for Visual SourceSafe on the Microsoft home page on the World Wide Web at:

http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/.


STATUS

This behavior is by design.
