How does one insert a custom toolbar into outlook?

[Philip Santilhano]

I am a developer, and I need to insert a custom toolbar
into Outlook (and Outlook Express), so that I can add
additional custom functions. Any ideas on how to do this
would be of great help.

 

[I live on Outlook]

Go to http://www.microeye.com and get the Items Command Bar sample COM add-in.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Could the "Outlook Bar" be converted from a separate window to the
left of the Folders window to a toolbar?

They're two entirely different things. You could, of course, write code to open folders from a toolbar.
