MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2008can't expand distribution list
I am working in Outlook 2007. I want to send an email from a distibution list, but exclude a couple of people from the list, but for soem reason, the [+] icon is missing, so I cannot expand the list. Do any of your DL's contain the +? How and in what Outlook version did you created these DL's? Where do they reside?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I am working in Outlook 2007.

Most of them were created in 2003, but one was in 2007 w/Business Contacts. For fun I created a a test DL (sitll no [+]), and it would expand if I double clicked the DL name. However, wiht the other DLs, double clicking brings up teh DL itself (as if I opened it in Contacts), leading me to think that deleting a name woudl permently remove it. > Do any of your DL's contain the +? > How and in what Outlook version did you created these DL's?

We have no idea what the difference is between "expand" and "bring up the DL" from your description. DL's from earlier versions will not work unless you migrated your data correctly, which I suspect you did not. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > No, none of them do.

By Expand I mean to display all of the DL's seperate addresses in "To" box in a new email, allowing me to delete some. By Bring Up DL, I mean to bring up the window in which the DL is peremently modified. Most of the DL were mirgated in by Outlook automatically when I upraded from 2003 to 2007. Was there something else I was supposed to do? Thanks! > Post is too unclear. We have no idea what the difference is between "expand" > and "bring up the DL" from your description.

Any time you attempt an in place upgrade, you must immediately create a New Outlook profile and connect your previous data file to it correctly by opening it in the new profile and setting it as your default PST file. In place upgrades of Outlook are never a good idea.
