I have developed add-in for outlook 2007.
I need to adjust the add-in code to outlook 2013, is there any migration tool / any other way to do this?
There is very little you would actually need to change. Your Outlook 2007 Object Model code should work the same in 2013.
The main thing you would need to change is your Outlook 2007 code that adds buttons to the Toolbar (CommandBar), so that it displays buttons in the Outlook 2013 Ribbon. See the Ribbon Overview page on MSDN for more info.

I am developing a VBA add-in for MS Access. I have a CustomUI ribbon that loads fine when I open the add-in as a normal database. However, when I install the add-in using the Add-in manager, the custom ribbon does not appear.
My VBA add-in (.accda) currently consists of the following tables:
USysRegInfo - Set up as described on this page
USysRibbons - Set up as described in this article (Customize the Ribbon - Access)
How do I configure the VBA add-in to show the CustomUI ribbon when the add-in is installed/loaded?
I have been able to find documentation so far only on how to create a VBA "Menu Add-in," and how to customize the ribbon for a normal database. I haven't found any documentation on using the CustomUI ribbon from a VBA add-in in MS Access, so maybe this isn't possible.
You can reload the ribbon using
Application.LoadCustomUI NameOfTheRibbon, RibbonXMLFromUSysRibbonsTable

I've created an Outlook 2010 Add-in (32 bit) using vb.net (2012). The add-in only has a ribbon tab and a small amount of code attached - just a msgbox for each button.
I've published and installed the addin, and installed the add-in in outlook. Restarted Outlook. The add-in appears to be active and this persists when outlook is restarted.
The ribbon doesn't appear.
As a test, I created another Outlook 2010 ribbon that adds text to newly created emails - that one works.
I'm new to vb.net.
What can I try next?
Fixed.
I hadn't set the RibbonType property of the ribbon to appear in the 'explorer' ribbon. The add-in was working, but I couldn't see that until I started to reply to an email.
I am developing an outlook 2007 add-in which is based on an existing outlook 2010 plugin. I managed to get most of the features working, because most of them were backwards compatible. However there are some I could not, because 2007 simply did not have certain features. \
Backstage view
Main ribbon
My question is - what would you suggest for an equivalent interface? Where would you put in outlook 2007 something that was in backstage view in 2010?
After much deliberation I decided to use a custom menu. All features available through the backstage view in 2010 will be converted to menu items in the custom menu in Outlook 2007.
Also buttons from the main ribbon will become items in the same custom menu.
This solution, while not as elegant as Fluent UI will work, I think, because all of my plugin's functionality will be available from one spot.
Looking for Migration from Office 2002 - VBA Word Doc Application to Office 2007.
Issues: Though Office 2007 Supports VBA Application - VB Macro Code, Menu Bars are not appearing. Indeed, VBA Macro Menus display under "Add-ins".
On a study, I realized Office 2007 Supports XML - Ribbon. Is there any ideal approach to migrate VBA Macro Application to Office 2007?
Your best bet would be these two MSDN articles: Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon and Creating a Custom Tab by Using Ribbon XML, although they look like they focus on doing it across all applications, rather than just one. There help docs for each Office app, to get them all try this Google query: site:msdn.microsoft.com office 2007 add button to ribbon.
This snippet, from the first link, should be what you're looking for:
What About Existing Solutions?
In previous versions of Office, developers used the command bars object model to build the Visual Basic code that modified the Fluent UI. In the 2007 release of Office, this legacy code continues to work in most cases without modification. However, changes made to toolbars in Microsoft Office 2003 now appear on an Add-Ins tab. The type of customization that appears depends on the original design of the add-in. For example, Office creates a Menu Commands group that contains items added to the previous menu structure (such as the File menu, the Insert menu, and the Tools menu). Office also creates a Toolbar Commands group that contains items added to the previous built-in toolbars (such as the Standard toolbar, the Formatting toolbar, and the Picture toolbar). In addition, custom toolbars that are added by an add-in or document appear in the Custom Toolbars group on the Add-Ins tab.
