To quote Microsoft:

There is no simple way to distribute Outlook VBA code to users. Outlook is able to support only one VBA project at a time. Additional code cannot be added simply by attaching another project (as you do when you attach a new template to a document in Microsoft Word, for example). As a result, you must export the code to one or more module files, distribute those files to users, and then depend on the users to open the Visual Basic Editor and import the modules. An alternative would be to distribute an entire project file to users, but that would mean that any previous modifications to a user's project would be lost.

Perhaps the only feasable way would be to use VB5 or 6 to compile a COM add-in and distribute that. More details here:
