VBA Source Code Control Add-In

The VBA Source Code Control add-in provides check in/check out, versioning, history, and other important source code management functions for use in the Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) environment.

To open the VBA Source Code Control add-in, open the Visual Basic Editor (ALT + F11) from any Office application. If the VBA Source Code Control add-in tool is not listed in the Add-Ins menu, you must first load it, using the Add-In Manager located in the Add-Ins menu. When the tool is loaded, you can launch it from the Add-Ins menu. To load the VBA Source Code Control add-in into the Add-In Manager, select the add-in, and then select the Loaded/Unloaded check box. After the tool is loaded, you can choose to Add Project to SourceSafe, or Run SourceSafe.
