Re: Any technique to incrementally saving as code is developed?

I'm looking for some wisdom on a technique
or method that lets me keep track of incremental
saves to a database as I write code to automate
database functions.

I may be lazier than some, and want to strictly minimize the catch-up typing
I have to do, or it may be just that I have more free disk space than some.
I make a backup copy of databases on which I am "in-progress" whenever I
make a change significant enough that I don't want to re-type it if it
crashes Access. That means, in an average full day of development, I may
save ten copies of the database... I usually create a new (sub-)folder with
the current time and date for a title, and copy the database into that
folder.

Looking for anything you all have done or
currently do in order to keep
track of revisions to your database.

I use a "versioning" technique to let the user's front ends determine if
they need to be replaced. You'll find some information on the topic at
http://accdevel.tripod.com, if I remember correctly.
