I have a user base that is forced to use IE 7. I have created a web site that will be getting a new URL. Is there a way to force a bookmark to update to point to the new URL when a user hits the old site via a bookmark in IE?

Nope. Your best bet is to include a message on the old site that says, “We’ve moved, and here’s the new site. Remember to update your bookmarks.” You can also add a Javascript button that will make it simple for unsophisticated users (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/01/add-to-favorites-ie-bookmark-firefox.html).
