问题
I have access database with form and report that I am changing over time in different scenarios. I would like to be able to track changes and branch modifications.
How can I add MS-Access application to TFS?

As there is little merit in adding the whole mdb/accdb-file to version control, you will need to extract the Access objects (forms, reports, etc.) as files to the filesystem. This can be done by using the Application.SaveAsText
method. You can later import those files back into your Application with the LoadFromText
method. - The resulting files can be added to and managed by any version control system using the client of the SCC-System.
This approach is somewhat cumbersome though.
Until Access 2010 Mircosoft provided a source code control add in for Access that did exactly that and interacted with the version control system to manage the individual objects (as files) there. - This add-in was discontinued with Access 2013.
For Access 2013 and 2016 I only know of one replacement product for the discontinued add-in, which works with TFS (and many other source code control systems). It is named Ivercy and is a commercial product that has been released in September 2015. I am it's owner.
