My thoughts are not to use a rule for that but to code it. Makes things a
lot simpler.

Ken, Thanks for your diligence. In All Fields, it is listed in both the
item and the folder. I used the control toolbox to create a combobox.
I have renamed the control as cbobxState and labeled the value as
strStateValue to make it easier to differentiate. The Type = Text,
Format = Text, List type = Dropdown, Property to use = Value.

Since the exchange mailbox will not be open when messages are arriving,
I need the rule run on the server side without any user input. The
problem is that when I choose "selected properties of documents or
forms" it says it has to be a client-only rule and will run when outlook
is running. That is the reason I even went to thinking about a public
folder in the first place. The action of applying a rule to this field
seems to be the problem in trying to forward this message or redirecting
to another recipient.

Thoughts?
