    <p>I don't have a great answer here.</p> <p>However, in the past I often made a "log book" of changes to tables and then simple used that on site.</p> <p>Do note that you can cut + paste macro code. And the code saves as XML.</p> <p>For example, this after update table trigger looks like this in Access:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jf5VY.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>If you cut out the above (ctrl-a, ctrl-cc),, then you can paste that into a note pad. In fact you can even paste/open it in visual studio or any xml editor, and you see this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cMhVe.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>So you can cut + paste out of those macros.</p> <p>As noted, thus in the past I often kept a "log" of changes. </p> <p>So if I was working off site and I modified 2 code modules, 4 forms and 2 reports, then I had a little log of changes. I would type into this sheet what object was changed.</p> <p>When I get on site, then I quick glance at that sheet and I know to import the 3-5 objects and such a import is only a few minutes tops.</p> <p>However, with table triggers and store procedures, you could have more then just a few to copy.</p> <p>I would either do one of two things:</p> <p>Use the log idea and </p> <p>a) Un-publish the development version and bring that with me to your working site. You then import new forms, reports etc. For trigger code, you cut + paste between the two applications.</p> <p>b) When you make a change to a trigger, then cut + paste into a note pad doc and place them in a directory. When on site, simply take each notepad, cut + paste into production and then move or copy the notepad item into a "done" folder.</p> <p>The above is certainly less than ideal. Then again in the past I not always had code to script out a table change, and using a little log sheet worked quite well.</p> <p>So in the past I often just written down that such and such table was modified and I have to add such and such column.</p> <p>So it really your choice as to if you want to cut + paste out the macro code as xml into separate little documents, or cut + paste right out of development into production.</p> <p>I do think if you working in differnt location, then I think it likely best to un-publish the development version, and bring that with you (I assume you know/realaize that you can make a un-published copy of a web application).</p> <p>So the forms, code modules, macro's etc can just be imported rather easy (you delete the forms etc, and just import from that un-published copy).</p> <p>However, for the table code? You have to cut + paste from that un-published copy one at a time into some staging area, or as noted cut + paste between the applications.</p> <p>There is the possibility that save-as text might work here, but I not yet had the time to cook up a better solution.</p> <p>Edit: By the way, in above I assumed a web services database, but the advice still applies to non web Access databases.</p>
