I have created a standard look we want to use for Outlook 2000 in an
Exchange Server environment and want to be able to migrate those settings to
other current user and future users. Mostly it's just replicating toolbars
and associated Macros, but there are a few custom views I have created. How
can I save these to be able to load them on another computer and how would I
go about loading them on the others computers?

Thanks!!
 
Toolbar customizations are stored in a file called outcmd.dat. You can copy
this file to other computers, but be warned that if you overwrite their
outcmd.dat file with yours, any customizations they may have made will be
gone.

Macros are stored in a file called VbaProject.otm. You should be able to
copy that one over...I don't know if you can merge it with an existing file
somehow, or not.

Custom views are stored in the .PST file. You can back them up to a common
..PST file and then copy them to another .PST, but it's not a simple process.
See http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=8650 for
instructions.

No one else uses any customization, so that wouldn't be a problem. I guess
the worse thing would be I would have to reassociate the Macros with the
toolbar icons to get them linked back.

Thanks for the assist!!!
