How to add a menu item in MS Outlook menu
i am currently working on a fax client and server program using VB. I would like to find out how to add a menu item in MS outlook itself to provide a shortcut to load my VB fax client program from MS outlook. For example a menu item "Fax using VB Fax" in Outlook menu to allow MS Outlook user to load the VB fax program by clicking on the menu.

Well I used this library while I was working in another company. They receive monthly a subscription from Microsoft and there was a disk named Microsoft Office Developer.
The file is named msaddndr.dll
If you want it - leave your mail.
As for Outlook 97 customization I asked the same question as yours twice on this site but still have no reasonable answer.

Sorry I have no examples right now. That was very long time ago. Last time I wrote a mail robot which have to arhcive , divide a large file into small pieces , enrypt and send all this stuff and proccess all delivery notifications from the other side and resend smthng if needed.
Finally we decided to write this as a separate VB programm. To send a large message user simply put it into the special folder. Program lunches periodically from time to time, scan this folder and do its work.
To run programm immediately we use customized Outlook form with some VB script code. We handle its Item_Open event and there we lunch the VB application.
You may read about Outlook forms customization in Outlook help or in MSDN
Good luck
