In what Outlook item are you trying to do this? Outlook main window has no QAT.

I apologize. I thought mentioning the Quick Access Toolbar would indicate
Outlook 2007.

I put the "Clear Flag" button on the toolbar in an open email in Outlook
2003. For whatever reason, marking an email completed does not remove it
from the Favorites folder, for example, the Follow Up folder. I just
upgraded from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007. Right now, I cannot clear a flag
from an email that is open without clicking on the Flag button, then going
down to Clear Flag and clicking on it. Yes, it's just one extra click, but I
appreciated the simplicity of the one-click and done I used to have.

I wouldn't mind doing some VBA programming and adding a custom button if
that's what it takes.

I knew you were talking about Outlook 2007 but my question was what type of Outlook item you wanted to add this button to. You have clarified that this is a new mail item.

As for programming, I don't do programming but you can always ask in microsoft.pubilc.outlook_vba or check out http://www.outlookcode.com to see if someone has already done this.

So there's no way to add the "Clear Flag" button to the Quick Access Toolbar?

Not that I am aware of without writing some code. Did you go to the outlookcode.com website to see if someone had already created something like what you want?
