Default How can I add a user created template to the toolbar

I created a custom template that I would like to access from the tool bar
instead of through the menus. Is there a way to do that? I saw a way to do it
with forms using VBEditor but that wouldn't work with a template.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish adding a button to the toolbar that
will open my OFT file?
Thanks!

Write a little VBA macro and put the macro on the toolbar:

Sub DoIt()
Set msg = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\myfile.oft" )
msg.Display
End Sub

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sue!

I have been trying to do this for months with Outlook 2010.

Using original Menus/Toolbars in Outlook 2007 was a snap by simply dragging a command to the toolbar and changing the command to a hyperlink of my template.

I couldn't figure out how to accomplish this with Outlook 2010.

If you were here, and my wife of 30 years wasn't, I'm not really sure what I'd do, but I'd do it!

Thanks!
