version control for Office VBA?

I'm looking for some kind of version control system that can be used while
developing Word and Excel VBA addins and modules. Is there such a thing?
I am currently stuck using Office 97, but there is a possibility I might
be upgrading to Office 2K soon, so any solution would preferably need to
work on either system. Oh, and I am currently on Windows 95, soon to be '98
or possibly Win2K. (I know, I know, but the IT dept here at work is really
slow...)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Visual Source safe may do what your after.

And... I think starting with 2k (I know it's in XP), you actually have built
in version control for the documents. If the file is setup to handle the
different "version"

I did a quick search in the INDEX of XP help and found what your after in
XP.

I did a quick search on www.google.com and found a variety of documents explaining
what your after.

If your looking for a third party control to help you with this you might
try.
