Contributions

We love to see contributions to this project.

The fact, that we have an Access database in play, makes it necessary to publish some guidelines to make it easier to merge your contributions.

An Access database is saved as a binary file. GitHub cannot merge binary files. Here is the problem. So what to do?

Quite simply: We leave the Access database unchanged and only check in the code modules as text files.

Please use the ExportModules function to save the modules as text files. This function ensures that all standard and class modules are exported. The files are saved in a folder named "Modules" in the directory of your database.

You are now checking in these text files into GitHub. I can than merge your pull request. Afterwards I use the ImportModules function to import the modules into the database. I then check in the database to GitHub and publish a new release.

In this way I can easily integrate your contributions.

Many thanks for your support.
