Outlook 97 is extensible with a special kind of add-in known as an Exchange Client Extension. It requires C++ or Delphi and an expert knowledge of Extended MAPI; see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/mapi.htm

I understand there a number of limitations within outlook 97, however I am
trying to create a toolbar within the application. It isnt a problem to do
this from another application, however I want to do this on the loading
event. The only events I have found listed so far are those connected to a
new mail.

Ideally Id like to be able to use an addin, however according to the
microsoft msdn sites this isnt possible. That said we have an application
here in the office called vaults which relies on an addin???

So is there any one out there that can help me?
