I am developing in 64-bit Outlook 365 version 1908 desktop application:

I currently have three customized ribbonbar menu buttons in my custom tab group. I am not using any custom forms. Is there a way I can use VBA to detect which of my custom ribbonbar button was clicked using a VBA macro?

Typically, the macro linked to the button would be different for each. It can be linked to a macro that just sets a variable then calls a macro all 3 buttons share.

dim cityName as string
sub austinbt()
cityName = "Austin"
call othermacro
end sub

sub othermacro ()
msgbox cityname
end su

Hi Diane,
Thanks for the quick response. We've already tried this approach, but the "powers that be" would like some way to track which button was clicked on the ribbonbar menu. Is there a way in VBA I can access the properties of the buttons on the ribbonbar?
