Not able to put Addin button in "Home" tab of Outlook 2010 !

[neal]

Hi,
In outlook 2010 all my addin buttons are coming in Addin Tabs. I dont
want my user to always navigate to this tab to use my addins. So would like
to put all my buttons in the "Home" Tab of outlook 2010. My addins are shared
addins. So I am using the following xml to perform this. But this is not
working. My buttons are not displaying anywhere in Home tab.

sRibbonXML = "<customUI
xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"" >" & _
"<ribbon>" & _
"<tabs>" & _
"<tab idMso=""TabHome"">" & _
"<group id=""SampleGroup"" label=""Sample Group"">" & _
"<button id=""Button"" label=""Insert Company Name""
size=""large"" onAction=""InsertCompanyName"" />" & _
"</group >" & _
"</tab>" & _
"</tabs>" & _
"</ribbon>" & _
"</customUI>"

Please help me....

This is for what, an Explorer ribbon or Inspector ribbons? If this is for an
Explorer you need to provide the XML using the new XML namespace
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui".

There also is no one specific home tab. There are different tabs depending
on what folder is current. For example there's a TabMail, TabTasks,
TabContacts, etc.

Do you have the reference material for Office 2010 and the ribbon ID's? How
about any of the sample addins?
