Hi Folks!

For reasons of my own (all right, inherent laziness, OK), I want to add a
button to my toolbar that I can click with my mouse cursor that will have
the same effect as hitting the space bar when viewing a message folder with
the preview pane open. I've gotten far enough along to figure out I need to
create a NextPage macro and to get into the VB programming editor. Where I'm
running into difficulty is with my ignorance of Visual Basic and the
under-the-hood goings on in Outlook 2003. Can anybody coach me a little on
how to go about creating the macro?

Or you could buy a new mouse with programmable buttons :) Or a wireless
keyboard.

If you really want to do this, start at outlookcode.com - i'm not sure if
the reading page is exposed in the object model and if it isn't, send keys
should work.
