What software / utilities / code etc. are available that would allow me
to adjust some existing data in my Outlook 2003 contacts?

For example, I have many "web page address" fields that need to be
changed from e.g.

http://subway.com to http://www.subway.com

and also many "city" fields that need to be capitalized e.g

los angeles to Los Angeles.

Thanks in advance for any replies,

After some research, I believe I have to write a Visual Basic script to
do this. Not knowing that language, does anybody know of a script that
can do what I'm asking, or at least something similar so I can use as a
starting point while learning VB for Outlook?
 
The code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/convertfields.htm demonstrates how to iterate all the items in a folder and read and change the value of Outlook properties. For a more detailed primer on Outlook property syntax, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
