Creating Managed Add-ins for Access

[maris]

Hello experts,

I have just read "Creating Managed Add-ins for Access" from msdn, and I was
wondering if I can create an Add-in that would work on all versions of access.
I'm completly new to MS Access, so I need to ask you for some help.

We have some customers runing different versions of Access(some use xp, some
2000, 2003 or 2007).
I need to consume a web service in Access, but how do I do that with all the
different versions. As far sa I could undersatand the artcile, there are
different ways of consuming sevices in the respective version.
It would be the best to have a one solution for all vrsions.
I'm little bit confused on this issue.
All help appreciated

Yes, I think you can. if you add a reference to Access 2000 - then it should
also work for later versions

The article describes creating a COM Add-In. They have been supported
at least since A2000. It is a somewhat advanced feature so I am
concerned when you say ...completely new to MS Access...

Another interesting tool to look at is the Interop Forms Toolkit.
