button on toolbar

[Pam Coleman]

If I have created a form in outlook using the design form and it is stored in
the Personal Forms Library, is there a way I can add a button to the toolbar,
so when I click on it, the form will populate in my message area. Thanks

A button on the form would be more appropriate:

Sub COmmandButton1_Click()
Item.Body = "my text"
End Sub

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm if you need a primer on property and control syntax.

I do not know how that would help putting the button on the form. If the
form is created and store in the Personal Forms Library, I want the button to
open the form. How would creating it on the form work? Thanks,

That's a different scenario from what you first described, which I interpreted as a button to populate the form's message area.

To create a button to launch a custom form, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm
