MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2006Distribution lists messed up
I work for a company that uses an online address book. I tried to make a distribution list, but when I try to send to it, it says "New Building Group cannot be found in the address book." Is there a way to make the list autopopulate the to field with individual e-mails instead of the name of the group? "Online Address Book?" Clarify your question and state what information store you are using.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I work for a company that uses an online address book.

The Global Address book is stored online so that WGI, CH2M Hill, and Bechtel National can instantly update rosters at all of their offices. For some reason, whenever I try to send a message to a distribution list, it just puts the name of the list in the TO field. Needless to say, that distribution list is not in the global address book, so I get an error message saying it does not recognize the name in the address book(as though it thinks "New Building Group" is a person) and doesn't even look at my contact list for the members of the list. Is there a way to make it look in my personal contact list before looking in the global address book? > "Online Address Book?" > Clarify your question and state what information store you are using.

So have you added them to the Outlook Address Book Service? Enable the folder as an email address book in its properties.

It would seem that IT has locked that feature. Oh well, I can just save an e-mail that was to that group and copy it when I need it. > So have you added them to the Outlook Address Book Service?
