Contacts do not appear when trying to add to distribution list
sI have created a distribution list in Outlook 2003 and need to add more
members. All of my contact folders appear in my Address Book; however, when I go to the Properties of the distribution list, click the Modify Members button and then the Add button, I cannot see all of my contact folders that I need to select the members from. Can you tell me why those contact folder appear in my Address Book but not in the drop down list when I need to select? |

Clarify your post. These are not options I have ever seen in Outlook 2003.
Include your information store while you amplify the details. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Paul D R" wrote in message ... sI have created a distribution list in Outlook 2003 and need to add more members.

I'll try to clarify. If I go to my Address Book and expand the drop-down
list under "Show names from the", I can see all the contact folders I marked to use with the address book. But if I check the Properties of a distribution list and try to add members, when I go to the drop-down list which should show the same contact folders that I marked, they do not appear. Thus, I can't add those members to my distribution list. If this is still unclear, please advise. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Clarify your post.

You mean you are trying to add members through the Address Book interface?
Not how Outlook works. Outlook uses Contacts Folders. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Paul D R" wrote in message ... I'll try to clarify.
