MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004forwarding a distribution list
Hi, I want to forward a distribution list from my contacts folder at work to my home PC. I'm using Outlook 2002 on both PC's. I can forward an individual contact by opening the contact and then going to actions, forward as vcard. I receive it at home and it opens fine. If I open a distribution list and go to actions, the only option I have is to forward. If I do this, I get an email at home with an attachment in .msg format. When I open the attachment it's a blank email. My distribution list will not forward to my home PC. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or is there a setting that needs changed somewhere? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Insert the DL as an Outlook Item in a message in RTF format.

If you're still lost, then at least post your Outlook version and editor so we can give you more specific instructions.

Make a new email. Put your cursor in the space you usually type in. Then click on Insert, Item, and scroll to find the Contacts folder, then within it, the distribution list. Click the distibution list to Insert it in your email. Ta daaaaaa! Judy Gleeson Acorn Training and Consulting > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Thanks in advance. Thanks Judy. I tried this and I still get the same results. When I receive the email at home it appears as a .msg format attachment. The attachment has a yellow envelope icon instead of the DL icon. When I double click the attachment it opens another email window which is just blank. When I try sending from home to work, using the method you explained, it works. Any idea what type of setting would cause it to work one way, but not the other? FYI, for anyone who didn't read my original post, I'm using Outlook 2002 on both ends. Thanks for your help.

Yes, both are in RTF and I still just get a blank attachment. > Are you sending the email in RTF format and is it being received in > that format?
