Duron,
This is even less clear ;-)

What do you mean by "my Toolbar"? The toolbox used to add controls to a
Form?

The Outlook object model does not contain any controls to add to a Form,
Outlook itself has the Outlook View Control, however it is not part of the
'Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library'.

If you want to use the Outlook View Control, you need to customize the
toolbox & select the Outlook View Control.

If you are using the PIA there will not be an IA (aka Interop.Outlook.dll).
Note you will use the PIA if one is installed!

A PIA is a primary interop assembly, it will normally be installed to the
GAC (Global Assembly Cache), where as an IA is an interop assembly, VS.NET
will create an IA for you, in this case called Interop.Outlook.dll and add
it to your project. An IA should "never" be added to the GAC. Note: Adam
Nathan's book ".NET and COM - The Complete Interoperability Guide" on when
and how to add an IA to the GAC and why you should not...

Hope this helps
Jay
