Outlook 2007 \ Contacts - Group ... possible glitch?
Yea, it's a Distribution List, sorry. What I did was this - I removed a
member or two (or more) from the list in question and then changed my mind.
I go to close the list and am prompted to Save changes or Cancel. I cancel.
If I reopen the Distribution List the 'changes' I made, though did not save,
are displayed. When I exit that list, I am again prompted to Save or
Cancel, and again I cancel. I then reopen the list and still see the
changes I made though did not save.
The only way to 'correct' this situation I''ve found is to open yet another
Contact and then go back to the original list and then I see the list as it
should appear.
The only reason I stumbled upon this, I was showing my wife how a
Distribution List works since she has had problems working with it. I was
surprised to stumble upon this.
So, try this - create (or use an exisitng Distribution List), remove a
member or two or three, exit the List but do not Save, reopen the List and
see if you had the same experience as I.
Thanks, Dave Horne

I've been using Outlook for many years. Just now I 'removed' several
members from a Group Contact but _did not_ save the changes when closing
the Group Contact. If I reopen the Group Contact I see the changes that
I made (but did not save). I am prompted to Save or Cancel the 'changes'
yet again and again I Cancel.
The only way to view the Group Contact without those changes is to open
yet another Contact and then go back to the Group Contact in question. I
now see the unchanged (and original) Group Contact.
What am I not understanding here? Also, if this is a known issue, my
apologies in advance for taking up your time. Thanks, Dave Horne
Are you referring to a Distribution List? Exactly how are you making the
changes? Describe the steps.
