DL's behave behave very erratically and have never been reliable. Few of
us even use them for that reason. Behavior will vary depending on whether
you base them on underlying Contacts in your Folder and whether those
Contact were created in the same Folder where they now reside (if you ever
migrated your data, for example, as most of us have, DL's will behave
unpredictably).
You'd do will to use alternatives like the rest of us do. If you rely on
DL's, you'll regret it.

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.
