Can someone point me to a website or provide sample code for setting default
options for the items under Tools | Options on the Mail Setup, Security and
Other tabs for Outlook 2003 using Visual Basic.  Thank you.

Most are documented in the latest administrative template downloads from the Office Resource Kit online. However, virtually all those options are stored in the Windows registry and are read only when Outlook starts. Changing the registry value while Outlook is running does not change the value that Outlook is using. Therefore, default options are normally set with the Custom Maintenance Wizard from the ORK.

Thank you Sue.  I'll give it a try.
