CommandBars collection in Outlook

[mml]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to add a CommandBar Button in Outlook 2000 by code ?

The CommandBar(s) collection and item don't seem to be recognized by
Outlook, although Access knows them...

If you look in the object browser, you'll see that in Outlook, CommandBars is a child object of the Inspector and Explorer window objects, not the Application object. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/commandbarfun.htm

Thank you for your help.
But now, by code, I try to link the new button with lines of code on the "on
click" event, but I don't succeed .
Can you help me ?

Best regards.

Did you look at the Items Command Bar sample from that page? It's a great COM add-in example of adding a toolbar button.

Show the code you're using.

There are lots of CommandBar coding samples at www.outlookcode.com that you
can review.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your good messages. I think I'm near the happiness.

The ".OnAction" of my button must call an executable file (.exe) and I dont
find the right syntax for that.
Can you help me ?

Best regards.

OnAction is the wrong property if you want to run an .exe. Use OnAction to run a VBA macro or to associate the button with a COM add-in.

To run an .exe, set the CommandBarButton.HyperlinkType property to msoCommandBarButtonHyperlinkOpen [= 1] and put the path to the .exe file in the TooltipText property.
