Running .NET Addin built on Office 2003 machine on a Office 2002 machine...

[Philip]

I have a .NET addin that was written on a machine that has Office XP 2003 installed on it which adds several command bar buttons to the standard Outlook menu. The application uses references to the Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object library. I am now trying to run that application on a machine that has Office 2002 installed on it. Should this work? My application does not seem to be loading when Outlook loads like it was on my 2003 machine. What do I need to do to make the application work
If the answer is to reference the 10.0 library, how can I do this? I only have the 11.0 libraries available in my reference list

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

You have 2 choices:

1) Install Outlook 2002 on a machine and build on that machine.
2) Use late-binding. This stinks so I would recommend #1 first.

You have to build to the earliest version of Outlook if using multiple
versions which in your case is 2002.
