Versioning Management
 

Hello €“
I have suddenly been put in charge of a roster of code driven models used
where I work. Can anyone recommend some URLs concerning version management?
I need to be developing some best practice protocols. Ill be starting at
Microsofts site€¦

Appreciatively,
Arturo

Microsoft used to make a product called Visual Source Safe. I know it was
distributed with at least one version of the Officer Developer editon, so
assume it is compatible with VBA. You might look in that area.

Hi Tom €“
I did not depict the situation correctly.
A bunch of models are in use currently, built by a number of people not
necessarily still here. When a new release of Excel comes out, does
Microsoft disclose prior methods or procedures that function differently in
the new version? Shy of testing every code driven model on a new version of
Excel and searching for compatibility issues, is there anything Microsoft
discloses proactively? A naive question but I need to ask.

Thanks,
Arturo

No, they don't do any compability testing on every function and argument and
print a list that itemizes all incompatilities. In each version they have a
whats new section, and that details addtions ( and deletions).
Supplemental information is also in the Knowledge base:
http://support.microsoft.com

Generally, they achieve pretty good compatability going forward.
