can you call a vfp program from outlook toolbar

[vfpgolfer]

I would like to add some of my programs to an outlook toolbar (vfp exes). Can they be called from an outlook toolbar?

Vfpgolfer,

I don't think you can call a free-standing EXE like that. But if you could write your VFP app in the form of an OLEPUBLIC class and build it as a COM DLL, you could always write a VBA macro that instantiates it and calls its main method. I presume you could then execute that macro from an Outlook button.
