Hi Ken,

I try with the following Xml to add my group to the exisiting tab.

strDescription = "customUI
xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui""
loadImage=""LoadImage""" & _
"ribbon" & _
"tabs" & _
"tab id=""TabReadMessage"" label=""MyMessage""" & _
"group id=""c4bBrand"" label=""" & g_product & """" & _
"button id=""IDS_WaehlenCombo"" label=""" &
GetCheckedResString(IDS_WaehlenCombo) & """ onAction=""cmdCommonRibbonBttn""
getImage=""GetImage"" /" & _
"button id=""IDS_Auflegen"" label=""" &
GetCheckedResString(IDS_Auflegen) & """ onAction=""cmdCommonRibbonBttn""
getImage=""GetImage"" /" & _
"button id=""IDS_Aktionen"" label=""" &
GetCheckedResString(IDS_Aktionen) & """ onAction=""cmdCommonRibbonBttn""
getImage=""GetImage""/" & _
"/group" & _
"/tab" & _
"/tabs" & _
"contextualTabs" & _
"tabSet idMso=""TabSetTableTools"" visible=""false""/tabSet" & _
"/contextualTabs" & _
"/ribbon" & _
"/customUI"

It creates a new group. Do you see my failure?

Thanks
Christian

Do you mean the "Message" tab? That's "TabNewMailMessage" for a new email
item and "TabReadMessage" for messages that are being read.

There's a download of all the XML tags for every type of Outlook ribbon and
for the ribbons for every other Office application at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You can add your own Group to a tab such as Message, you can't add your own
ribbon controls to existing Groups within a tab. You create your ribbon UI
controls within the Group you add to the tab.
