What version of Outlook are you using?

You're creating the dist lists in your Contacts folder, correct? Because if
you are they should appear in the address book which, typically, is created
dynamically from your Contacts folder

Then, perhaps, the contact folder containing that DL isn't enabled as an
address book.

Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address book"
box

Ah ha... you need to add the Outlook Address Book service here: Tools menu >
Email accounts > Add address book or directory > Click Next
> that option is grayed out I can't check it
