Distribution List
in [General]
|
From: Jethro Pull on 3 Apr 2010 14:02 I have changed my distribution list, saved it and updated it. Nevertheless, when I enter the name of the list, the old members of the list show up. It's as if I had two address books, a new and an old. Any suggestions? Thanks.
From: Russ Valentine on 3 Apr 2010 14:34 We can only guess since you failed to tell us how you are selecting this DL as a recipient. I would guess you failed to delete the entry for this DL from your autocompletion cache. -- Russ Valentine "Jethro Pull" <jpull(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:0pLtn.304808$OX4.237082(a)newsfe25.iad... >I have changed my distribution list, saved it and updated it. > > Nevertheless, when I enter the name of the list, the old members of the > list show up.

So I then was presented with a message window which had a lot of fields to fill in one of which was the "To" field.

From: Russ Valentine on 5 Apr 2010 11:30 When you update a DL, its entry in the autocompletion cache does not get updated. Since you used autocompletion to select your recipient instead of selecting from your Contacts Folder, you got the old version. Had you selected your updated DL, all would have been fine. As always, we can't know what you don't tell us. I had now way of knowing you didn't know how to remove an entry from the autocompletion cache since those instructions have appeared here hundreds of times. Here they are again: Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of the field. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q287623 -- Russ Valentine "Jethro Pull" <jpull(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:2kjun.39636$ao7.25912(a)newsfe21.iad...
