You would not have the same issue if you used the WFS for storage in 99SE as
the .ddb file is just a link file.
WFS is the way to go if you are using a version control system. The Jet
databases are evil bloated things :)
Does anyone know if this is easier with 2004 than 99SE? I
think we'd look at 2004 if it would help us with this but it
also depends how many other new techniques etc we'd have to
learn and if the upgrade is worthwhile.
DXP2004 uses a flat Windows file system structure to store its files by
default, (similar to 99SE with WFS) so you can use any VCS. We are using
Subversion with excellent results.
There is a significant learning curve to migrate from 99SE to 2004,
however I have forced myself to stick with it and I now find I would not
willingly go back to 99SE. There are still things about 2004 that I
don't like, such as the unhelp system, and the amount of functionality
that is biased towards FPGA design. However there are many more powerful
features that can be quite productive. It is also quite stable, I have
only had 1 crash in more than 12 months of use, and that did not result
in any corrupted files.
