OL2000 COM addin

[Lars Roland]

Hi outlook people.

I have a COM addin, that works just great when compiled against "Outlook
object libary" 10 and 11. If I compile it using version 9 (coming with
office 2000) then the addin will register fine but there is no buttons and
the forms I add to the toolbar is gone. The addin does however shown up
the list of COM addins.

Is there any spacial thing I should thake into account when suporting
outlook 2000 ??? (eg. difrent faceId's) -



Thanks

Are you using any methods or properties that aren't there in Outlook 2000,
such as the Mask property? You can only use properties or methods that are
available in Outlook 2000 if you want to support that and later versions.
That's why I do most of my COM addin development on an Outlook 2000 machine
unless I don't need to support earlier versions of Outlook.

You can also run the code under the debugger and see what errors you get
when you create your buttons in Outlook 2000.
