Outlook doesn't seem to check the names of distribution lists like it does
for contacts. Is there something I must turn on for this? I have personal
distribution lists named close to some lists on our Global Address List. If
I don't completely type in the name, it defaults and sends to the Global
list.

This would be nice to have.

Thanks.

So what Check Name order did you specify for the Outlook Address Book?

I have it set to check the Global first, but should that matter? Whichever
one it checks first it should look at the other for matches as well,
shouldn't it?

Nope. Once it finds matches in the first, you're done.
