Hi,

I developed a Contact Management application and wish to add a button
which launches this application from within Outlook 2003. I created
the button manually using the "Customize" options for the toolbar. Is
there a way to programmatically create a toolbar button to do this, so
once the application is installed the button pointing is created?

Create a COM add-in and add a command bar using Explorer.CommandBars
collection.
See sample add-ins listed at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=36
