Outlook compatability

I am looking at getting a new laptop with vista and am considering MS office home or MS works 6 software.  Neither comes with outlook but I have outlook 2002.  Can I add outlook using my 2002 version to either of these?  I tried to update outlook on my current PC from 2000 to 2002 but have run into some problems.  I have been told that I couldnt run a different version of outlook with office, but I have MS works and my 2000 version was installed after market.  I simply tried to upgrade 2000 to 2002?

    You might like to look at this website, which lists which versions of Outlook are compatible with Vista: www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista. You will see that there are compatibility problems with Outlook 2002 running under Vista. Microsoft also has a web page dedicated to which programs are Vista-compatible.
     
    On my XP Dimension Desktop I'm running Office 2000 with Word, Excel and Publisher but I did not install Outlook 2002, as I was using Outlook Express at the time. I subsequently installed Outlook 2002, which was supplied by Dell with my Axim X51. Running these different versions of Office programs hasn't presented any problems under XP. The only limitation is that Outlook 2002's capability of interaction with the other Office programs (i.e. mailmerge) will only work if you are running the same versions of all the programs, however, I have not found this to be a problem.
