So you're saying that all distribution lists from our GAL that I need
to expand need to *also* reside in my contacts? That doesn't seem
right...

I just tested with a distribution list that I created. It is in my
contacts. It is not in the GAL. It does *not* have a plus sign next
to it.

I got a new PC and had to reload everything. I'm wondering if I had
loaded an extra set of "tricks" or something to have this on my old
PC...

Outlook 2003, sp1, XP Pro, sp1. I know there are newer service packs
of Outlook, but I haven't had a chance to really dig for them. I
didn't find them in a quick search of MS web site...

Thanks,
Cappy
