SUMMARY
=======
To determine whether the version of Microsoft Outlook you are running is year
2000 (Y2K) compliant, check the client version.
IMPORTANT: You cannot use the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program to make
this check even though the Administrator program includes a Client Version
column in the private information store Logons container. The client version
information in this column is collected from the Emsmdb32.dll file, which
resides on the client workstation, and not from the actual client. That is, the
client version number displayed in the Client Version column is that of the
Emsmdb32.dll file, not Outlook, and therefore, doesn't determine Y2K compliancy
for Outlook applications.
To determine the correct version of Microsoft Outlook applications, in Outlook,
click About Microsoft Outlook on the Help menu.
