This isn't making any sense to me, really... UR *is* a
highly structured database... How exactly can you
document things better in Access (of all things), than in
UR?

I would say it is highly IMPLAUSIBLE to manage source
code with UR, since it is not designed for this highly
specialized task.

There are already an endless number of products for
managing source code.

Install Cygwin and learn to use common UNIX command-line
utilities like 'grep' and 'ctags' to locate things in your
code base. Or browse your source with an IDE of some
kind.

For actually managing the code itself you need a
revision control system (RCS). Just get an open-source
one.... I really like darcs and bzr. But if you must, you
can use SVN (it's most popular, but declining every day
due to not being distributed in nature). git is also pretty
good, I hear. TortoiseSVN is a project to look at, if only
because it integrates so nicely with Windows Explorer.
