I've upgraded a user from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003.

I've imported her pst file to the correct location.

Everything looks fine - Except her Distribution lists.

If you change a contact's email address it does not update the distribution
list that this contact is included in. Yes in the distribution list I have
selected update now.

I am able to manually go in and re"select member" and then delete the old
imported member of the distribution list. BUt this user has MANY distribution
lists!

Is there an easy way to do this? This seems to cumbersome!

You will see posted here countless times that exporting and importing is
never the correct way to transfer Outlook Data. It is only a good way to
lose data. DL's are among the data you lose.
Next time copy the Outlook Data File and open it in the new installation.
For these DL's, you'll need to revert to the backup you made before you
imported.
