PRB: Warning Message in MS Access After Installing ODE Tools

ID: Q163438

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access 97

SYMPTOMS

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

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.
