I've got the code worked out, and tested, it's all working properly. I've got
it built in right now as a macro. Is there a way I can attach it in an e-mail
and have people run it as a macro on their system, I would it be better for
me to turn it into an executable and then send it out? Thanks in advance for
your thoughts, and for your previous help.

That sounds like a manageable route. However, I've never written scripts for
Outlook before, would you know any good resources you could point me to, to
help me getting started. i.e. some sample Outlook scripts, so I can get a
feel for field names, passing parameters, etc. Thank you in advance for any
direction you can offer to this end.

There is no server-based setting to do that. You could, however, write a script using the Outlook object model and ask each user to run it while Outlook is open.

I have created 4 public contact lists. From the Administrator Account I have
added them to favorites, and clicked "show this folder as an e-mail address
book". What I would like to do, if there's a way, is to apply these settings
to all the accounts in the office. I'm wondering if I'll have to go to each
computer and make these changes person-by-person, or if there's a way from
either the Administrator account, or from the webmail server, to set these
changes to apply to all accounts? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
For reference we are running MS Office Outlook 2003, and an Exchange server.
