The desire is to have a small list of contacts that would be used by the
majority of people on a very common buisness. Important inter-company
contacts, as well as common vendors/suppliers and customers; in general
people/companies that are contacted on a normal basis. The other thinking is
that, for example, if there is a certain sales person/IT person, etc. that is
typically contacted for a given vendor; if the contact person for that
company is changed for some reason or another. The contact could be changed
on the public contacts list, and would be automatically changed for everyone
else, then an indicator shown to let the users know that a contact was
changed.

The concept for this is that this particular list would never be a large
list of people, but small, manageable, list of common contacts.

I have two more questions regarding Contact lists in Outlook 2003. I
have the public contact list running properly now. Is there anyway,
perhaps via macro, to merge the public contacts list into each
person's person conact list.

What's the point of having a shared Contacts if you're just going to shove
it to people's personal Contacts? What if those people neither want nor
need those contacts on any regular basis? It is your intention to make it
more difficult for your people to do their work?
