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.

So that for example, whenever you open, or possibly close, Outlook it will
"dump" all the public contacts into the users personal conact list. And in
the event of a contact already being present, it would either prompt you to
ignore or overwrite, or perhaps set it to default one of the two options.

Along with that, I would like to perhaps have a way, again likely via macro,
to add a '(new)' indicator next to the public contacts list in the folder
list box on the left of the screen, anytime that it registers new contacts
were added to the list. So that an individual may choose to check what new
contacts were added, or simply ignore the notice.

Again thank you for any advice offered.
