MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008Distribution lists show up as a regular contact - doesn't resovle
I've got Outlook2003 on an exchange server. When I setup a distribution list, it shows up in my Contacts folder as a distribution list. However, when I select New Message to Contact..the message opens up and its just a regular contact, no underline or bold, just the name of the list, and it won't send becuase it can't resolve the name. The lists never show up in my Cotnact list when I click To: either, it only seems to show the addresses from the exchange server. We are without any information. This DL was set up where and how? How did you configure your Outlook Address Book?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I've got Outlook2003 on an exchange server.

Its on an exchange server, I congifured nothing. I simple clicked on contacts, then New - DL, entered the names, named the DL and saved it. SignatureThanks, Troy > We are without any information.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I was asking how you configured the Outlook Address Book, not the DL. When you create a DL correctly and configure the Outlook Address Book correctly, it will appear in the Address Book, which you say it does not.

Try this: In Outlook, go to Tools > Mail Setup > Email Accounts. Click 'Add a new directory or address book > Next > Additional Address Book > Next > Outlook Address Book. It might ask you to Exit and Restart Outlook. Once you open it, do a new message and click the 'To..' box. In the upper right corner drop down menu, it should allow you to choose 'Contacts' under 'Outlook Address Book'. Try that. Mark > I've got Outlook2003 on an exchange server.
