Outlook 2003 addin development on Outlook 2007 machine

Hi

If I uninstall OL2007, install OL2003, install OL2003 PIA, uninstall OL2003
and then reinstall OL2007 with OL2003 PIA intact, would it work?

Thanks

Regards

Most functionality should be the same between versions, but it is an
absolute must that you test your addin with Outlook 2003. 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.

The PIA should always be matched to your version of Outlook.
