Modifying a Form
I have done quite a lot of Access and Word VBA in the past, and so am
real familiar with VBA in general, and office in particular. However, Outlook seems to be a whole different world, and I have to dip my toe in that water. All I want to do is modify the form for an email so that it has an extra button on there. The button posts a task to watch for a follow up. I can creat the task no problem, my difficulty is getting the button on the form, and then somehow convincing Outlook to use that form for all my email both past, present and future. I know it is simple, but I just can't seem to make this simple task work. Can someone help me?

Modifying a Form
That's a bad idea. Using a custom form for your messages will guarantee that anyone not using Outlook as their mail client won't be able to read any attachments.
