    I think (ok I guess) its the same as in access, you'll need the 'commandbar' reference added to your project, then you open outlook, and set the commandbar via the outlook object, create and add as applicable.

    I have never tried it with outlook, but I have coded it in Access and it worked a treat

    Do an advanced search on my username and you will find a demo I
    wrote for doing just that. The Outlook Shortcut Bar is different
    than the CommandBars collection.
