After you upgrade to Microsoft Office Groove 2007, you cannot add certain tools to older Groove workspaces.
This issue occurs because of changes in Office Groove 2007. You cannot add tools that went through a major revision in the Office Groove upgrade to a workspace that you created by using an earlier version of Groove Virtual Office or of Groove Workspace.
Additionally, Groove 2007 no longer supports tools that were created by using the Groove Development Kit 3.1 and that were added to Groove by using component injection. Therefore, older third-party tools will not work in Groove 2007.
For Groove tools
To resolve this issue with a Groove tool, use one of the following workarounds.
Add the Office Groove 2007 version of the tool
Have all members of the workspace upgrade to Office Groove 2007. Then, increase the tool version requirement for the workspace to 4.0. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Files menu, point to Properties, and then click Workspace.
- Under When adding tools, use those released with version, click 2007.
Note If the workspace was created by using Groove Workspace 2.1 or an earlier version of Groove, you must create a new workspace and then migrate your data to that workspace to use the Groove 2007 tools.
Add an earlier version of the tool
Ask a member who is using an earlier version of Groove to add the tool.
For custom tools
To resolve an issue with a custom tool, use one of the following methods.
Use the Forms tool or the InfoPath Forms tool
Use the Forms tool or the InfoPath Forms tool to create customized applications in a Groove tool.
Contact the tool vendor
If you used a third-party product that worked in Groove as a tool, contact the tool vendor. The vendor may have a replacement Forms solution or InfoPath Forms solution that works with Groove 2007.
