I need to know if it is possible and how to make an add-in to outlook 2007 that will add a button next to the Send that stats Send and File. What I need it to do is upon sending the message to have the sent message to be prompted if new to filed into either a folder within the mail box itself or to go to a .pst of the users choosing. And finally to have the app remember via a config file and give the user away from the main form to be able to change their settings.

You don't need to list ALL of the versions of .Net in the Tags field. Using ".Net" is more than sufficient.

Alright I am sorry about this when it comes to office add-ins I am a completely new at this. First is what I am asking about even possible? Or do I need to clarify what I am trying to say? And thank you the cpu monitor add-in it showed me how to add a button to the main but is there a way to add a button next to the send button? And to make this new button act the same as the send button. Then how do I move the sent items to the desired folder or folders based on the To: field?

Hi,

Look at this Outlook 2007 add-in article

Outlook 2007 CPU Monitor AddIn[^]

To create a button you will see in the article that you can do it this way:

VB

// Create the button in the standard toolbar.
newButton = (Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarButton)
this.Application.ActiveExplorer().CommandBars["standard"].Controls.Add(
    Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoControlType.msoControlButton,
    missing, missing, missing, missing);

Good luck.

Valery.
