excel - Can I add an older Object Library to my Excel 2013?

Question

Well basically I just wanted to know wether or not it was possible to add an older object library to excel 2013 and if so, How can I go about adding it? Im looking for object library 12.0

Thank you in advance.

The solution is something called "late binding." You should create your objects in the following format:

Dim olApp As Object
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Rather than:

Dim olApp as Outlook.Application
