References in A2K vs A2K3

[Junior]

I converted an Access 2k mdb to Access2K3 - i.e imported all objects into a
2K3 blank database.

I now get a user defined type not defined form this line
when trying to email from withion the db.

Dim myMail As Outlook.MailItem

I am missing microsoft word 9.0 and outlook 9.0 object libraries in the new
2K3 mdb - however, they are not available as selections...
What do i do?

If the application has been ported to run in Office 2003, you probably want
to replace those references with the Office 2003 ones, i.e. Word 11.0 and
Outlook 11.0.

If the application is meant to work in both versions, you might consider
using late binding:
