Thankyou.

Answer 1

This ESRI web site (link) provides various versions of the identify command (code samples in VB) that you may use as a starting template for your custom tool.

Answer 2

For anyone looking for the same sort of information, but for newer versions, VBA support is being discontinued in versions newer than 10.

See http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/vba_desktop/conceptualhelp/index.html#/what_s_new_at_10_/000100000133000000/

Important Deprecation Notice for VBA users

ESRI will no longer support VBA as a development platform beyond ArcGIS 10. Users who have custom functionality built using VBA are strongly encouraged to rewrite it using a supported development language such as Python, VB.NET, or C# to ensure that it continues to be operational and supported with future releases of ArcGIS. The topic Migrating VBA customizations to ArcGIS 10 provides some guidance.
