using source safe

[Roy Goldhammer]

Hello there

I have access application with many languages: English, Hebrew, Arabic And
Russion.

I had problem to enter the entire application to Source safe as a reault of
that.

After some check i discovered that each object of access is being saved as
text file on Source safe. and because of the multi languages i didn't passed
good.

After i transfare some of the files to unicode it becomes ok.

Is there a way to send the the access to source safe and the default of the
file will be unicode and not ansi?

What version of SourceSafe are you using (or forced to use)? If there
is such a parameter, you will probably need to set it (somehow) in
SourceSafe, not in Access. Whether or not you can change the setting
depends on the permissions granted to the user you use to log into
SourceSafe.

But I find it highly unusual that MDB files, or any other files not
having a *.txt or *.csv or other file name extension designating it as
text, would be saved in any format other than binary. Are these really
*.mdb files that you are saving?

I've heard that SS does something that ends up using
SaveAsText and LoadFromText for form, report and module
objects.
