how to add button to outlook98

I would need to hook on outlook 97/98, when this is being opened and add a button to the toolbar. Adding button is not a problem, but I don't know how to catch the some event from Outlook 97/98. I have the same problem with Word97 and Excel97. In Office2000, there was no problem to do this. I just used IDTExtensibility2 interface (event was e.g. IDTExtensibility2_OnConnection...).
When I say it more simplier, how could I add a button to an Outlook98 toolbar by some dll or exe?
(I try to use ActiveX.dll as for Office2000).

Any help will be great. Thanx

.OnAction set to macro. Use macros to re-write events to catch them from Outlook 97/98 by giving them a same name of the event.


Sub CreateTACToolBar()
Dim cbar as CommandBar
Dim btn as CommandBarControl

for Each cbar In Application.CommandBars
If cbar.Name = "TAC toolbar" then
cbar.Delete
End If
next

Application.CommandBars.Add Name:="TAC toolbar", Position:=msoBarTop

set btn = Application.CommandBars("TAC toolbar").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With btn
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "Finalize"
.OnAction = "Finalize"
End With


set btn = Application.CommandBars("TAC toolbar").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With btn
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "Add Employee"
.OnAction = "SetData"
End With

set btn = Application.CommandBars("TAC toolbar").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With btn
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "Select folder"
.OnAction = "GetFolderPath"
End With

set btn = Application.CommandBars("TAC toolbar").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With btn
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "Update Carry-out hrs"
.OnAction = "UpdateCarryIn"
End With

set btn = Application.CommandBars("TAC toolbar").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With btn
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "Help"
.OnAction = "UnitHelp"
End With

Application.CommandBars("TAC toolbar").Visible = true
End Sub

I'm the beginner in ActiveX and Visual Basic.
So I would need to explain it more detaily.

This is what I did for Outlook2000
1. I created a new project in VB6.0 - ActiveX dll.
2. I created class module, where I inserted IDTExtensibility2 interface
3. I could catch opening of the Outlook2000 by implementing IDTExtensibility2_OnConnection sub.
4. After registering dll and inserting of appropriate values to registry it was done. That means that if I opened Outlook2000, I could hanlde this in IDTExtensibility2_OnConnection function.

Now the truth is that I do not understand how to do things you had written to me.
Can I use macros in Outlook98? How?

Could you explain it more detaily?

Tahnk you very much.
