All:
Env: Windows XP SP2, VS 2005, VS for Office (most recent), Outlook 2007 I would like to implement an add-in that works in both OL 2003 and 2007. Is this possible, or do I need to build a version for 2003 and a version for 2007? (Assume that I am not using anything specific to 2007, e.g., the ribbon). Thanks, John |

MS officially supports Outlook 2003 COM addins running on Outlook 2007. Look
at the information from the Outlook team on their blogs. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "SvenC" wrote in message ...

See this Microsoft blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/andreww/archiv...of-office.aspx MS officially supports Outlook 2003 COM addins running on Outlook 2007. Look at the information from the Outlook team on their blogs. I searched "site:blogs.msdn.com VSTO Outlook 2003 support 2007" and did not get any posts which indicate that it is supported. As I do some COM programming where I need to version correctly when producing new releases, I know how easy it is to break something. So with the extra layer of PIAs and VSTO (which also needs correct versioning) on top of the COM type libraries I am a bit uneasy to believe that everything "just works" :-) -- SvenC |

It works. Ask Ryan Gregg on his blog site. You don't get ribbon support, but
even VSTO addins using VSTO 2005 SE with the Outlook 2003 PIA's does work with Outlook 2007. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "SvenC" wrote in message ...

Hi guys. Please look at the following example: http://www.add-in-express.com/projec...k2003-2007.zip It shows on how you can develop VSTO add-in that supports Outlook 2003 and the Ribbon UI in Outlook 2007. The add-in doesn't require PIAs for Outlook 2007. It uses PIAs for Outlook 2003 only. |
