Outlook distribution list
in [Outlook]
|
From: Melissa on 23 Aug 2006 10:55 I have made changes in my contacts. And now my distribution lists say they "could not find contact. It may have been deleted or moved from its original location". How do I get the distribution lists to recognise the new contacts I've put in? Also, is there any way to "find and replace" inside the distibution lists? I was able to do this in the contacts folder by exporting it to a tab DOS document, then did find/replace and then exported it back to the contact folder and the changes were made. How can I export and import the contents of the distribution lists?

DL's contain an "Update Now" button that should update that information. 9 times out of 10 it fails, and you must update your DL manually. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Melissa" <Melissa(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E2E7D5DB-4FB3-4355-8344-FCD60162B097(a)microsoft.com... >I have made changes in my contacts.

In those instances, I Remove the old and Select Members... for the new ones. After 3 years, I now only have about 1/10th of my 2,893 entries in the Distribution Lists that won't update.
From: Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] on 23 Aug 2006 21:22 You'll find it fails in lots of other instances too. It seems to work only for Contacts that were created in the same Outlook profile. Any migration whatsoever of data breaks all links. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chuck Davis" <newsgroup at anthemwebs dot com> wrote in message news:uLvGMbwxGHA.3464(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > > "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" <russval(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > news:u$hWdzvxGHA.3632(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> You can't, and shouldn't try. >> DL's contain an "Update Now" button that should update that information. >> 9 times out of 10 it fails, and you must update your DL manually. >> -- >> Russ Valentine >> [MVP-Outlook] >> "Melissa" <Melissa(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:E2E7D5DB-4FB3-4355-8344-FCD60162B097(a)microsoft.com... >>>I have made changes in my contacts.
