I, like Kim, am trying to import a list of contacts into Outlook as a
distribution list (I think Outlook calls it a "group.") I have a csv file in
the format specified. My first problem is when I get to "select a
destination folder," I don't know where to send them. It defaults to
"contacts," but the <NEXT> button is grayed out. There is a button that says
"change destination" but I don't know where to send it. I created a new
group called "classroom" but I don't see it listed anywhere under possible
destination folders. Anybody done this before?

You cannot import into a DL. You can only import into a Contacts Folder.
