MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / February 2004Problem with references in Office Xp Developer designed Addin
Hi All, I have been developing an Outlook Addin using the MOD addin designer. I want to be able to use the addin with Outlook 2000 and 2002. The problem is, I am having issues with the object library references, since the user with 2000 is not going to have the 2002 object libraries. I figured I could change the references using code, however,I can't figure out how to change the references using VBA because the OL Application object doesn't have a references collection. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks! Just develop on a machine with Outlook 2000 installed and don't use any object properties, methods or events that aren't in Outlook 2000 in your code. The code should then run without change on Outlook 2002. I do it that way for code that has to run on Outlook 2000, 2002 or 2003.

Thanks Ken, I will give that a try. Would packaging differing object libraries with the setup files as dependencies be a possible solution?

Legally you're not allowed to repackage and distribute any Outlook libraries, and due to various dependencies you'd basically have to re-create a complete Outlook installation to make sure that all required DLL's were installed and registered anyway.
