Outlook 2003 - Shortcut Bar 1

[Mich2too]

Using Outlook 2002, it is possible to have links to frequently used files on the Outlook shortcut bar. Is there a way to do that in Outlook 2003? Have looked around and figure I'm missing it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!!!!

Hi,

How about using the Shell command in VBA?

sub test()

Shell("C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.EXE c:\windows\0.log")

end sub

You could create a custom button that calls this sub, and shell to the application passing the filepath of the file you wish to open. Just repeat for all common files.

correction, that line should read

Shell "C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.EXE c:\windows\0.log"

without the brackets, sorry.

Select Shortcuts - if you don't have Shortcuts in the Navigation pane, you can use the Configure Buttons button (located at the bottom of the Navigation pane) to add the Shortcuts button.

In Shortcuts, use the link to Add New Group.
You can drag and drop files onto the group.

Thanks everyone!

The programming replies were a bit above my head. Liliabeth's method worked the quickest, easiest and was something I could understand.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR REPLYING!!!
