Re: Creating a com Addin for office 2000

Do your compilation on a machine which has the oldest version of Outlook you want to support, in this case Outlook 2000. I use a virtual machine (VM) running Outlook 2000 for all my compilations.

Hi,

I created a com addin with vb6 package and deployment wizard while I have on
the development pc office 2003. When I run the setup.exe on target machines
which have office 2003 the com addin works perfect but when I install it on
machines which have office 2000 the installation ends succesfully but the
addin doesn't work.
How can I create a com addin with vb 6 for target machines whith office 2000
while I have on my development pc office 2003.
( In the organization some employees have office 2003 and others office 2000).
In the vb6 project I have reference for these files:
Visual basic for applications
visual basic runtime objects and procedures
visual basic objects and procedures
OLE Automation
Microsoft Add-In Designer
Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library
Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Activex Data Objects 2.7 Library

Thanks,

David
