CDO 1.2.1. / Office 2010 & Office 2003

[1DMF]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.

I now have MS 2010, however the company DB is 2003 and uses CDO 1.2.1 , up until MSO 2007 everything was fine!

Now Outlook 2010 won't allow you to install CDO 1.2.1 , so I can't even use the main company DB let alone continue to develop it.

What do I do?

MS knowledge base goes on about re-developing the email functionality using MAPI etc...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028411

But if i do that, won't users with MSO2003 then not be able to use it?

How on earth do I make our access database compatible with user on 2003 and 2010?

Also when I open the DB in 2010 it changes all the office references from 11 to 14? How do I stop this, how can I develop an Access DB in 2010 with references to office components in 2003.

OK, one workround seems it does work just not supported.

So I am going to have to uninstall MS Outlook , install the CDO 1.2.1. then re-install MS Outlook.

Sill don't know how to get round the Office reference issue, apart from load my old OEM MS Access 2003 and continue to develop with that.

Until everyone in the company is upgraded, i can't see any other option.

I'm curious if anyone can answer what happens if you compile an MS access with runtime using the developer extensions in MSO2010, so someone without MS Access can run your application, but they still only have MSO 2003 basic version for the word/excel/outlook integration?

Will my app work with older versions of word/excel/outlook if i have compiled the access DB with the developer extensions runtime in MSO2010?

1DMF,
I have same issue, Were you able to make your app work?
Your workaround is to uninstall MS Outlook 2010, install CDO and then reinstall MS Outlook 2010?

Yes jonacorona, you need to install CDO1.2.1 first then office2010 , then your app should work.

Just remember you won't be able to do any devel work on it as MS Access 2010 is not capabale of making 2003 compatible MDE or anything else for that matter!
