MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2008share outlook distribution list
I maintain distibution lists for sending email to everyone in the company. When I try to share it with other users as I would a contact via email, the person recieving it recieves it as an attachment, opens it and sees the distribution list just as I do. But, when the click save and close, it does not show up in the contact list. We are not using Exchange. We are using office 07 and some 03 You're not sending correctly. Send the DL as an Outlook Item in an RTF message.

Insert the DL as an Outlook Item in the message (Instructions: Insert > Item...) 3. Send the message to your recipient. 4. Recipient will be able to open and save the DL to the default Contacts Folder. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > OK, sorry, I'm missing something here.

I've created a Distribution List. I emailed it as an attachment. The recipient opened & saved it to their oulook contacts. Whe we go into their contacts and open the list, its fine...when we click on the individual name to see their contact card/more information, its not there. We get an error message that its been removed?? What are we doing wrong and what would be the best way to share a DL? Thanks! Liz > There isn't any more detail. > 1.

Why would you expect them to be there? All you sent was a DL. You got what you sent. When you sent the DL, you broke the links to any related Contact Records.
