Flag For Follow-Up Button On Forms

Currently, I click on the "Follow Up" button in the toolbar to display
the "Flag For Follow Up" dialog. Is there a way to add this
button/link to a custom form? I cannot locate it if it does exist.

You can execute any toolbar button using CommandBars. But if it already exists in the toolbar, why do you need to add a button to your custom form to do the same thing?

Sue: Thank you. Maybe I'm missing something on the forms, but you
mentioned the toolbar using the commandbars. I thought I could drag a
toolbar button to a custom form, but this is not allowed. Am I
missing something.

Concerning why I'm doing this, I very much of a keyboard users. Not
much of a toolbar user.
 
What I meant was that you can use the COmmandBars collection to execute any toolbar or menu command programmatically. If you're keyboard-centric, why not customize the existing toolbar to add a text label for the Follow-up command and set an accelerator for it? I think Alt+U is unused.

Thank you for the idea. I'll add the accelerator. I haven't gotten
to the level of programming yet, so I think the accelerator will work
fine. Thanks again.
