MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2006Membership in a Distribution List should be identified in Contact
Previous versions of Outlook provided info on membership in a distribution list for each contact. I have 800 - 1000 contacts and approx 20 distribution lists. Some of these lists contain 200 contacts, or more. Managing this is impossible with the current version of Outlook (2003). I've never seen any version of Outlook "identify" a contact's DL membership. WHere do you see that, for example, in Outlook 2002?

Those can link only to other contacts, not to DLs.

Could this be what you are thinking of? BTW, XP is 2002. It would be a good thing if the distribution list would be an automatic link in the Contacts field, but it is not, and distribution lists can't be included as contacts in that field AFAIK.
