Targeting Different Outlook Versions

1.) I am using a debugged Outlook 2000 PIA for add-ins that are targeting different Outlook versions using the same code. I am casting all items to Outlook 2000 items (except the application object) Is it a correct approach?

2.) How can I test such an add-in using a single PC? I tried to install Outlook 2000 to my desktop with Office 2003 installed, but windows refused it. I managed to install it somehow, but now Outlook 2003 does not function properly. Is there a way to have Outlook 2000, XP and 2003 on the same machine without using virtual pc etc?

Thanks,
Serhat.

Hi Serhat.

1. Correct. You can cast the application object to Outlook 2000 as well.

2. No, there is no way to implement it. You can only use a single version
of Office on one PC. The Virtual PC is the best solution in this case.
