Outlook 2007 with Outlook 2000 addins

[Dave]

Anyone know whether an addin written with the outlook 2000 object model is
still going to work on Outlook 2007 ?

My add-in was developed using the 2000 model and has been fully tested with
no changes required under Outlook 2007 Beta 2. www.intelligentconcepts.com

I guess I'm going to have to setup a test PC and try it out.

Thanks

If you follow best practices and don't have any Inspector buttons no changes
are required. Inspectors now use the Ribbon so if you have Inspector buttons
or menus or toolbars they will be relegated to the AddIns tab. If you want
them in your own tab you would need to Implement the ribbon and add your own
tab and buttons there.

All of my addin are compiled under Outlook 2000 and work under Outlook 2007.

My addin has a toolbar with buttons, don't think it has any inspector
buttons.

Well, you would be the one who knows

If it's in a folder viewer it's an Explorer, if an open item viewer it's an
Inspector.

it's a folder viewer so its an explorer
