I realize that which is why I asked the question because it always bugged me
that you couldn't do this. It is quite a hassle to enter a contact
(especially when you are entering several contacts) and then you have to open
the dist. list and choose the contact to make them a part of the dist. list.
From within the contact there are several actions you can choose from -
granted, I'm not a programmer, but why can't it be set up where you can
"assign" the contact to a dist. list while you are still on the contact
screen?

I have several distribution lists and I would like to be able to assign the
contact to a distribution list from within the contact instead of having
to
open the existing distribution list and then selecting the contact from
the
address book. This will save many keystrokes

I am currently using Outlook 2003
