How do I configure a multi-user enviroment so one person
can be working with the database and others can view
tables, forms and queries? Also, can I import an access
form into outlook as a contact.

You want to split the MDB into a front end containing the queries,
forms, reports, macros and modules with just the tables and
relationships. The FE is copied to each network users computer. The
FE MDB is linked to the tables in the back end MDB which resides on a
server. You make updates to the FE MDB and distribute them to the
users, likely as an MDE.

See the "Splitting your app into a front end and back end Tips" page
at my website for more info. See the Auto FE Updater downloads page
at my website to make this relatively painless.. It also supports
Terminal Server/Citrix quite nicely.
Also, can I import an access form into outlook as a contact.

Follow the links at the Outlook section at the Access Email FAQ at my
website.
