Plugin for Outlook 2003

Hello!

I'd like to create a plugin for Outlook 2003 which would load data from a file and create a contact from it. A button on the outlook toolbar, sth like SalesForce.

So far i create VBA and VBScript which does but to use it i have to put the button on the outlook toolbar manually, which is not convenient, i wanna have a setup for that plugin.

I installed VS 2005 express edition. I downloaded beta version of Visual Studio Tools for Office but it doesnt wanna work with express edition!

There's one really useful thing - http://www.add-in-express.com/ - but you cannot use it until you pay for it.

So without that stuff i cannot compile many various sample codes even from microsoft's website.

What do you suggest how can i make that plugin

thanks in advance!

Jack

    I would suggest that you invest in the tools required to create Outlook add-ins. VS 2005 Express apparently is not sufficient. You apparently already understand what your options are.
