Synch excel list with contacts distribution list
The original question Resi asked is my question too. I need a DL (at work) to
update for other employees once I update it...I always click on UPDATE NOW
but thus far I am the only that has used the DL. Only time will tell if this
works.

You cannot import into a DL. You already have a far more robust and editable
group of recipients in an Excel spreadsheet that you would ever hope to have
in a DL. Use your Excel spreadsheet as the datasorce for a mail merge to
electronic mail.

sorry. I have a list of people names and e-mail address in Excel. I like
for
all the e-mail addresses to be in a distribution list in Outlook and this
distribution list to be kept up-to-date with the excel entries when I make
any changes in the excel file.
otherwise can I e-mail stright out of Excel?
Thanks

Post more clearly.
You said you were adding or updating a Contact. That's Outlook. Excel
does
not have Contacts.
You can only synch a DL with Contacts in Outlook. I don't even know why
you
would use a DL if you have a list in Excel. Why not just use that list?

HI
I have a list of our volunteers which keeps being updated on a
daily/weekly
basis.
I would like to set it up so that when I make a change (add or remove
contact) automatically it updates my outlook distribution list.
is this possible at all?
