Default Outlook 2003 addin development on Outlook 2007 machine

Hi

I need to develop an Outlook Addin in vb.net to work on both OL2003 and
OL2007 machines. I presume I can create an OL2003 in vs2008 which would also
work with OL2007 too.

My question is, is it possible to test the OL2003 Addin on a PC which has
OL2007 and not OL2003?

Thanks

Regards

Most functionality should be the same between versions, but it is an
absolute must that you test your addin with Outlook 2003. In my mind
the easiest way would be to hijack another box if your company has one
laying around with 2003, or to install a virtual PC and use it for
testing.

Hi

If I uninstall OL2007, install OL2003, install OL2003 PIA, uninstall OL2003
and then reinstall OL2007 with OL2003 PIA intact, would it work?

Thanks

Regards

The PIA should always be matched to your version of Outlook.
