yeah, i did that. i just can't leave well enough alone. maybe i have ocd, but
i like just one button that simply says "Navigation Pane" to toggle on/off.
if that's not workable guess i'll just have to live with it, and maybe even
seek some counseling. btw, my previous computer was outlook 2007, although it
was an upgrade from 2003.

So you've moved from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007? In Outlook 2007 Alt+F1
shuts the navigation pane off. In Outlook 2003 it toggles between off and
on. In Outlook 2007 you have Normal, Minimized and Off so you'd need 3 macro
buttons to cover all the settings, or 2 for just Normal and Off.

It would be a lot easier now that I know what you're trying to achieve to
just use the Customize menu to add one or more of those commands directly to
a toolbar and no code is needed.

Right-click on the menu bar and select Customize. Select the Commands tab
and select View in the Categories list, in the Commands list select the
Normal, Minimized and/or Off commands under Navigation Pane and drag the
commands you desire to where you want them on a toolbar to add them
directly.

OK. Well, what i'm looking to do is write a macro that will turn the
navigation pane on and off. Alt+F1 does that, that's why i was looking to
use
that in a macro. I added the navigation pane button to a toolbar, but the
problem is that it's a flyout, so i have to choose Normal, Minimized or
Off.
On my previous computer that button just toggled the navigation pane on
and
off. That's what i'm looking to duplicate. Any suggestions?
