I have an Excel template that invokes a session of
Outlook, which uses the msoutl9.olb reference file. If a
user has a different version of outlook (outlook 10), the
reference file appears to update to msoutl10.olb and when
this is received by a user that has outlook 9, a compile
error displays when running the code and the "Missing
reference" appears in the references. I have to uncheck
and reselect outlook 9 library file to get this to run.

Any ideas how I can maintain this template when various
users have different versions of outlook? I thought it
might work if I loaded both library files on
the "administers" computer. Thanks for your help
