NewInspector provides a weak object reference and should not be used for
creating UI. Wait for the first Activate event. In fact in Outlook 2007 this
is even more important than in earlier versions.

Always add any UI with the Temporary argument set to true. When you get the
Inspector.Close (or Item.Close since one or the other may not fire depending
on how the item is closed) also delete your UI.

I am trying to create a command bar in the NewInspector event. The code
seems to be working fine on Office 2003 and 2007 but throws an exception
in
Office XP when I access the CommandBars.Add function. Any ideas why?

Other things I am noticing are
- CommandBar.FindControl always seems to return null.

- Under office xp, adding controls to an already existing command bar
(such
as Standard) persists even when restarting outlook. This is not the case
under 2003 and 2007 as the buttons need to be recreated each time. Any
workarounds for this?

Thank you,
