I set up a VPN connection to my work successfully. However, I can't access
the internet when I am connected to the VPN. In order to set up my work
email on Outlook I need to connect to the internet. Do I need to change the
access setting to be "Local and Internet" instead of just "Local Only". If
so, how do I do that??? Help!!

That's the split tunneling issue. If your running the Vista PPTP VPN client
check this Cable Guy article (written for XP but still pertinent) for
help...

Note the security issues involved...

If your not using the Vista PPTP VPN client let us know. Its possible this
is a server side issue depending on what VPN your using. If that is the case
you need to talk to the VPN admins at the server end.
