Sure thing, can do. I'm using Office 2003 on my development machine. I did a quick build and tried to run it on a machine that has Office 2002 and ran into an entirely different snag.. stdole version needs an upgrade in the global assembly cache... I think this means I need a reference to the older office objects as it can't load the office interop for version 11 on the machie with Office 2002 (duh). I'm not in any hurry so it may take me a couple of days... sleep well... 4am eh? bit of a workaholic? lol.
