Visual SourceSafe & Access 2003

I am using VSS6.0 for my Access database.

I downloaded the Access 2003 Plug-in for Visual SourceSafe and created my VSS project. I created the working folder. Every thing looked good; that I checked out a module modified it and checked it back. All of my objects have the lock icon indicating that they are in VSS Project. e.t.c..

My problem is when I closed my Access database and re-open it, I looses the connection to VSS Project. All the objects in my Access database do not have the lock icons. I can modify them without checking them out.

To re-connect to VSS Project, I had to go to Tools menu and select the "Create Database from SourceSafe project". This process will either replace the database or create another database. If I had checked out an object and made some changes, I will loose my changes when I re-connect by creating the database from SourceSafe. If I do not re-connect back to VSS Project, I can’t check in the object.

What am I missing Is the way VSS works with Access
