Windows support on Outlook custom button

[Bingo]

I created a custom button to be added to Outlook standard
toolbar. It's working fine in Outlook 2000. Just wanted
to ask if the same code will be running on other earlier
versions of Outlook. Thanks.

No. You can add buttons to Outlook toolbars in the earlier versions (97 and
98), the only problem is these versions do not support events for the
buttons, so your event handler won't ever be called. Also note that if your
code is in a COM addin, it won't be loaded by Outlook versions prior to
Outlook 2000.

So what's the work-around for Outlook versions prior to
2000? Thanks.

Build an Exchange client extension with C++ or Delphi and Extended MAPI.

Can I use VB instead of C++ or Delphi for this? Thanks.
