Hi,
Is it possible to add a custom button on one of the menubar of outlook
message form?
Are there any limitations or pros/cons? I want to add a button on the
top of a custom form so that when clicked, the message can be directed
to a folder. Thanks.

Have you written the macro that moves the message to a folder? If so, you
can easily drag that macro from the Commands list on the right side of the
Commands tab from the customize menu bar dialog. The macros that you have
created are listed when you select Macros from the Categories list on that
same tab.

If you want to add menu bars or buttons programatically, there's a good
reference on MSDN at http://tinyurl.com/vetg. There are no big limitations
that I can think of off the top of my head, but you may want to keep in mind
that toolbars you create in code can be permanent or temporary.
 
Also, you may use the Commandbar object to add a new button from VBA.

Thanx a lot for the information. This should help a lot. No, I have not
created a macro for moving the item to a folder yet.
