MS Access Database Design to CVS

Being a monolithic file, the Access .mdb is tricky to use with version control. If you have Office Developer Edition, then you have Visual Source Safe as an option.

You can hack something together manually using the undocumented
"SaveAsText" function. Reference:

Or, try this nifty looking "Backup Wizard" tool:
