Which Outlook Version Should I use To Develop Custom Forms?

[Stephen L Dotson]

Background:

I have been working on a complex custom contact form in Outlook 2002. I now
need to have this form work on all machines using Outlook 98 - Outlook 2003.
I'm trying to make this form usable by at least 90% of Outlook users. I
know my Outlook 2002 form is not backward compatible, so I will have to
reauthor my form in a previous version of Outlook.



Which Version To Develop In?

Do I need to develop the form in Outlook 97 or 98 or 2000? What would be
the best Outlook forms development platform to accomplish my 90% of the
Outlook platforms distribution goal?



Can I Install Two Versions of Outlook On the Same Machine?

I have Office XP Pro with Outlook 2002 installed. Is there some way that I
can install the prior version of Outlook, on the same machine that Outlook
2002 is installed on. I don't want to have to buy another machine, and dual
booting two operating systems is out of the question.



I need your suggestions to solve my problems.



I thank you in advance.
