    I want to replace Microsoft Office with www.openoffice.org

    And while I can just select outlook from SBE or SRD or PRO
    And it's so much easier tracking licenses when the item in control panel just says Outlook.

    (Lucan area)

    Why do you want an Outlook CD when you want to install Open Office?

    Open Office does not include replacements for Outlook or Access.

    We already have an exchange server, and a client access covers the use of outlook on a computer. I can download Outlook 2001 for MAC's, and US customers can get outlook on the Service pack for Exchange 2000.

    At present if a new user starts Outlook it will go looking for the CD it came form - 97/2K/XP x SBE/STD/PRO x SR level, that's a lot of hassle...

    It's mainly so that when I run MSIA or PSINFO or BSA that I get a true listing of what is on each Client. (eg: I could just get a copy of Office Pro and install the licensed applications for which each PC has a license for - most PC's would not get Access - but would be a nightmare to keep track of)
