How do you create an Addin for all office apps(inc Outlook), and then when a button for example is clicked know which office app is calling it.

Thanks Asaf, I want to add some comments for Add-in Express 2.

At design-time set the SupportedApps property to [ohaExcel, ohaWord, ohaOutlook, ohaPowerPoint, ohaAccess, ohaProject, ohaFrontPage, ohaMapPoint, ohaVisio]. As an example of an event handler see the code below: 

procedure TAddInModule.adxCommandBar1Controls0Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  case HostType of
    ohaExcel: ;
    ohaWord: ;
    ohaOutlook: ;
    ohaPowerPoint: ;
    ohaAccess: ;
    ohaProject: ;
    ohaFrontPage: ;
    ohaMapPoint: ;
    ohaVisio: ;
  end;
end;


Sincerely,
