Just curious if anyone knows how to get the Personal Address Book to show
with the Global Address List?? I set up a Distribution List, however it says
Address not found and makes me manually get every name because in the "Show
Names from the:" drop down menu it does not show my Personal Address Book.
Please help.

Maybe a dumb question, but do you have a Personal Address Book .pab file and have you added it to your address lists using Tools | Email Accounts?

Okay, I thought I had to add the Personal Address Book and I'd be fine, but
my Distribution List isn't showing when I pull the drop down menu for "Show
Names from the:" Any suggestions? Sorry but I am really clueless about this
stuff

Maybe you didn't create the DL in the Personal Address Book after all? Maybe you created it in your Contacts folder (which would be the most logical place, but you're the one who brought up the PAB issue).

Personal Address Books are obsolete.  Create your DL in your Contacts
folder.
