Thanks Greg, good tip.

What if i wanted a form specific tool bar, ie a button for each view? What
i have done right now is created buttons in the form on each view but if i
make a change to a button, i have to make a change to the corresponding
button on each view in which it appears.

You can add all of your forms to a custom category which will appear on the
Fill Out A Form dialog box when InfoPath launches. You can set the custom
category using File | Properties in the designer.

Actualy Ben, you can do what you want. You can add buttons to the toolbar in
the manifest.xsf.

Take a look at

I haven't tried this using .NET codebehind yet.

Sorry I misunderstood your original question. I thought you were looking for
a buttonbar to launch the forms you created... I misread it.

You can certainly create a custom toolbar (not the generic ones you create
using the InfoPath UI)... but I believe it requries full trust. It should
carry over across all views.

You should be able to find information on how to do them with a Google
Groups search.
