Hi,
I'm making a addin for 97 / 98 / 2K / 2002
As I had to change the type library to make it work in 97 I wonder if it is
possible to create a single binary for all the versions.
I suppose that this is possible to do using late binding but I prefer not
using it because it increments the code and it become difficult to
understand.
If anyone has a clue about this or know the objects that can be used in all
versions (e.g.: I know that Explorer cannot be used in this way).

Thanks,
<-- Julieta -->
 
Working with the lowest Outlook version (97) is the only way to do that if
you don't want to use late binding.

Hi Dmitry,
Thank you for you reply.

But if I use the 97 typelib: Is it compatible with 2k?
 
Thanks Dmitry.
I'll do that.
I'll have to hook the toolbar and the popup buttons but it will work in
newer versions!
