MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006Select Names for Distribution List Window
Hello, I am trying to use all my contact folders in making distribution lists. When I go to Select Members Button, I get the Show Names from the Accounts..... then in the drop down list I see contacts and a few of my contact folders but half have been previously deleted and some that are active do not show up in this drop down list.... Is there anyway to get this list up to date? Thanks Answer is difficult when you fail to provide your version. Please don't post questions with including your version. Remove the outdated folder references here: Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. All other Contact Folders will appear in the dropdown as soon as you enable them as email address books in their properties.

Deleting the Folder removes it from the OAB dropdown. It may be different running against Exchange, or on Mondays.

I will try what you suggest and get back to this topic. Thanks for replying with so little information given. Thank you again, the help tips worked just fine.... I have come to realize that many of the answers to my questions are to be found deep in the help files on line as well. > Yes, I will remember to post version. > > I have Microsoft Office 2003 (SP2) , running on XP.
