Upgrade Outlook after installing other pgms

[Larry Mc]

I upgraded from Office 2003 to Small Business 2007, except for Outlook, a few
days ago.
Now I want to also upgrade Outlook to 2007.
After inserting the CD and opt for 'Add or remove Features', the next screen
has
Outlook as 'unavailable'.
How do I upgrade to Outlook 2007 in this case?

You first uninstall your 2003 version of Outlook

Thanks, that's what I was beginning to think.
Looks like if I uninstall and upgrade to 2007, it should pick up the
previous .pst and other settings. Or I could back up first, just to be extra
safe...

A backup of the data file is allways wise
PS If you had used the upgrade option, when you initially installed 2007, it
would have upgraded all, including removeing OL 2003

Yeah, I wasn't sure when I updated if there were any Exchange considerations,
so I didn't upgrade Outlook. Should have waited until I was sure about all
pgms and then done all upgrades at the same time; would have been easier.
Thanks.

Click the icon that says "Unavailable" and change it to "Run from this
computer".
