My company is in the process of deploying Office 2003 and in Outlook 2003 I
have created manually a series of views to use with the contacts folder. I
copied the "by company" and applied various filers to each.

I am interested in either a script or a file I can copy to other computer so
they have the same views available to them when they use outlook 2003

Can anybod lead me in the rifght direction

Thank you

Paul
 
For Outlook 2003 (and Outlook 2002) you can get the view as XML. That has
most of the things in the view although any automatic formatting and some
other things aren't in the XML. You can get at the XML when that view is
displayed from ActiveExplorer.CurrentView.XML. If you print XML that in the
VBA Immediate Window you can copy it to a text file and then use code to
read in the text file and set the XML for a view on the target machine the
same way. See the Object Browser and its Help for more information on how to
work with those properties.
 
Go to microsoft.com and look for "Office Resource Kit 2003" (ORK Tools). They have a number of deployment utilities that copy profiles and settings across many machines included in that package.

The ORK has no tools for propagating views.
