Guys I'm not sure I totally follow.

I know how to create a button via the add/remove GUI (customize toolbar) but
how do I create a button conditionally? "in an event handler"? Or is it
possible to edit the properties of the button once it's created to make it
display conditionally (only if in Contacts form/view)?

Again, I'm novice programming so it'd have to be pretty easy, as was the
above tip for jumping to a specific field.

Yes, sorry, Inspector.CurrentItem.Class = olContact.

The button should be created in an event handler for NewInspector, that's
the best way to do it.

Can't you just test for Inspector.CurrentItem = olContact when you create

(Shouldn't that be: Inspector.CurrentItem.Class = olContact ?)

your button? Don't create the button if the test is True.

That assumes the OP creates the button programmatically via an event
handler; I doubt that.
