Time has already spoken. Update Now does not work reliably and never has.

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?
