MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006Distribution List Problem
Recently Migrated Outlook 2003 to a new computer. Now when I click on a contact in the DL is says it can not find the record and if I update ALL contacts in the DL are GONE! Suggestions? > Recently Migrated Outlook 2003 to a new computer. Now when I click on > a contact in the DL is says it can not find the record and if I update > ALL contacts in the DL are GONE! Suggestions? It appears you migrated your data incorrectly. My crystal ball says you used export and import. That's why it's broken. DLs don't survive export and import. WHen transferring data between Outlook instances, NEVER use export and import. Just copy the PST, if you're not using Exchange, and if you are, create a PST and COPY the data from Exchange to the PST and then copy that PST to the other Outlook instance. Open it there with File>Open>Outlook Data File.  SignatureBrian Tillman BRian, Your crystal ball is correct that I used Import & Export. I do have the original PST file,which is now several weeks old, saved on the old machine. Any possibility of extracting the DL from it and bringing those DL's over to the new machine?? Thanks for your answer...wish MS told us that.... > Your crystal ball is correct that I used Import & Export.

Thanks for your answer...wish MS > told us that.... Sure. Put the old PST on the PC where you want the DLs. Open that PST with FIle>Open>Outlook Data File. Open the Contacts folder in the old PST. Select the DLs. Right-click and drag them to the main Contacts. Close the old PST with right-click>Close. SignatureBrian Tillman |
