I have to change the user settings in Outlook for 200 client computers
to access a new email server. I'm wanting to create a script to access
each client pc and make the changes for username, email account,
server name, etc.
Can this be automated with vb script? I can't find anything to show me
how to do this task. I can find alot about how to do forms, messages,
etc., but not how to change the current user/account information
settings in Outlook.
If anyone has some ideas, please post it.

This is beyond the capability of the Outlook object model. You would need to use Extended MAPI or Redemption or hack the registry.
