MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2005Distribution List Problem
I imported a contacts and a distribution list folder from my old computer to my new one. When I have My Contacts open and have the Contacts highlighted I see all my contacts and when I click on Distribution List I see all my lists. I can email to a distribution list if I right click on it and send "new message to contact". But when I have a new email open and I click on TO:, I get that error, "Address List cannot be displayed",etc., I click OK, then I have 2 "Contacts" in the list and if I click on the 2nd one, all my contacts are there to chose from. But, if I click on Distribution list it gives me that error again and it will not open it at all. Help!! Thanks in advance. Two separate problems. 1. You cannot import DL's. They do not survive. That's one of many reasons we tell people not to import Contacts. 2. After an import you will have an invalid reference to a Contacts Folder in your Outlook Address Book. How you remove it depends on your Outlook version which you failed to include. For some versions you would remove it here: Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. >  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I imported a contacts and a distribution list folder from my old > computer to my new one.

I guess I will just recreate my distribution lists from my contacts. Thanks again. > I guess I will just recreate my distribution lists from my contacts. > Thanks again. And if you ever need to transfer your Outlook information in the future, just copy your PST and open it in Outlook. No exporting/importing needed. SignatureBrian Tillman |
