Outlook 2003 addin development on Outlook 2007 machine "John" <info[ at ]nospam.infovis.co.uk> 12/23/2008 6:20:33 AM Hi I need to develop an Outlook Addin in vb.net to work on both OL2003 and OL2007 machines. I presume I can create an OL2003 in vs2008 which would also work with OL2007 too. My question is, is it possible to test the OL2003 Addin on a PC which has OL2007 and not OL2003? Thanks Regards

In my mind the easiest way would be to hijack another box if your company has one laying around with 2003, or to install a virtual PC and use it for testing.
