We here are running a very indepth workflow / outlook form for a project, but
we're running into a problem with setting the default contact item list
within the form.

We've tried a few ways and each one of them brings us back to the same
point, pretty much we want it so that whenever someone access's the form
through our public folders that the contact list that people can pull up
through it is the exchange public folder contact list; all we can seem to get
it to do is pull up the individual user's contact list.

I figured the easiest way of doing this was just writing a direct macro to
come from the buttom of To: inside the form however; the macro designer
inside of outlook is far different then the one inside of access (which I'm
very comfortable with)

The platform we're designing on is outlook 2002 / 2003 with exchange 2000.
We're using the Office developer tools to write our background scripts /
code.

If theres an easy way of doing this that I'm missing or some way to code it
out it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Outlook provides no way to set the folder that it displays when the user clicks the Contacts button. It's always the user's own default Contacts folder.
