How do you deal with multiple versions of Outlook?

On a local network, I have OFF2K and OFF XP.

When I set it up, it was with XP and required Outlook library v10. Of
course, it fails when open on a workstation with v9.

Is there a way at db opening (1) to recognize what version is
installed and (2) to activate the proper reference.

I remembered about CDO v1.21. I gave a try to the method explained on
mvps.org/access, but I keep getting a message and if CDO is not on
each workstation, I will have problems as well.

TIA.

Do a Google search on the topic "Late Binding". If you manipulate Outlook with
Late Binding no reference is required and your code is (for the most part)
version independent.

Is it possible to install multiple versions of ActivePython on the same machine? Many modules which used to work with Python 2.2 now don't on 2.3. I am using some 2.3 features but lots of programs that used to work, don't anymore. This is especially true with modules that expose their libraries as DLLs. Has backward compatibility been a nagging problem with Python? Please feel free to chide me if this is a no-brainer question.

Hi all, We've been having a discussion over on the wxPython-users mailing list about how to deal with multiple versions of wxPython.

The root of the problem is what to do when you install a new version of wxPython, and want to be able to keep using the old one. This question comes up frequently...

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007, when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all. Access should...
