Re: Activex for outllook compattible with outlook 2000 onwards "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 4/18/2006 1:34:49 PM Do you mean Outlook 2007? There is no Outlook 2005. You need to compile on a machine that has the oldest version of Outlook you want to support. You can only use early binding on properties, methods and events that are present in Outlook 2000. If you need to customize the UI for any Inspectors then you need to use the Ribbon interface for that in Outlook 2007 so compatibility is broken in that way. There are many other things to consider, such as the language platform you plan to use which you don't mention so can't be commented on. -- 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 "ShilpaM" <ShilpaM[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:81E544BE-0D45-49EB-BC82-BFC61825C672[ at ]microsoft.com...
