I don't think anyone anywhere has tested that scenario, building against the
Outlook 97 object model and trying to run on Outlook 2007. I certainly
wouldn't want to try to use the Outlook 97 object model if at all possible,
it's so limited compared to what came later that it would have to be
classified as totally crippled.
You'd have to do your own testing, I don't even know anyone who still has
Outlook 97 installed.
