Default Publish custom form and macro button throughout corporation

Outlook2003 -- we have a custom calendar form (nothing fancy) and a 2-line
macro assigned to a button on a new toolbar to simply bring up the form so
folks don't have to go find the form. We would like to "easily" publish/send
this form to everyone in the corporation (we are on an Exchange server) and
don't want to change any other customizations customers may have made to
other Outlook toolbars; hence, the new toolbar with the one button. Can we
accomplish this easily and without too much disruption or training?

thanks!

You should publish the form to the server's Organizational Forms library. There is no easy way, however, to distribute a macro and toolbar button. The ideal solution is to create an Outlook add-in and deploy it with group policy. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=56 forother ideas.
