You always need an Inspector wrapper if you want to handle button clicks in
more than one open Inspector. If there only ever is 1 Inspector open at a
time you don't need a wrapper. The wrapper handles not only the Inspector
object to help tell a COM addin when Outlook is closing but also lets each
wrapper class handle a button click without interfering with any other open
Inspector and its buttons.

You can use the sample at
http://www.slovaktech.com/code_sampl...spectorWrapper to get you
started. It's VB 6, so is code compatible with VBA. However you will not
need to use the tests for Inspectors.Count and Explorers.Count in the VBA or
to use a global Outlook object. Instead, just let Outlook close things down
when it wants to, and you use Application in Outlook VBA, an intrinsic
object.
