We are using Outlook 2003.
I have 2 users that we share their contacts folder.  We have decided that we
would like to combine them and make a public folder that is more accessible
to all our users.  Combining them would make it easier than having to re-type
them.  Is this possible and how?

You could create the PF and then just drag-n-drop Contacts into it.  No
fancy 'combining' needed.

Actually that doesn't work.  Yes I can create them in a public folder but the
idea was that I wanted to combine 2 lists of contacts into the same folder.  
When I copy them like you say and put them into the public folder it
essentially creates 2 seperate public folders which isn't the point.  The
list will only be effective if I can have the 2 lists made into 1.

Don't copy the folders themselves, copy the contents of the two folders to a
single public contacts folder.
