Distribution Group
I've created a distribution group via Address Book and it's in Contacts --
How do I share this group with other members of the group? Can I send the group like one can send a VCard? |

Distribution Group
Outlook 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1
Press Ctrl+Shift+B which will open the "Address Book" window. From the menu selected File New Entry... From the "New Entry" window you have two options "New Contact" & "New Distribution List" Select "New Distribution List" and add the people you want (both internal and external people). When complete click the "Save and Close" button. I played around more and found that if I switch from "Global Address List" to "Contacts", double click on the newly created distribution list and press Ctrl+F it open an email with the distribution list as an attachment from which I can forward it to anyone I'd like. When someone gets the email with distribution list attachment if the double click on it the "Distribution List" window will open. They should then from the menu select File Copy to Folder... Then from the "Copy Item to" window select "Contacts". If there is an easier or better way please let me know. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... Explain more accurately what you did. The only groups you can create in the Address Book are with Outlook Express or the Windows Address Book. Outlook has no such feature. State your Outlook version. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "M.Siler" wrote in message ...

body... My question is about distribution groups and that's what my subject is?? "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" ahoo.com wrote in message ...

Looks like the exact same screen, but I can assume by your warning that it's
not. I'll go through File New Distribution List... from now on. Do you know if MS has removed Address Book from Outlook 2007? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately, the Outlook Address Book interface is unchanged. It remains
one of Outlook's worst "features." The Outlook Address Book has always been a "virtual address book" which is only a display of the data in Contacts Folders. It was never intended to be an interface for data entry or manipulation, but Microsoft never made that clear by providing Menu items that make you think you can enter or edit data from it. In fact, sometimes you can, but you as you can see, you shouldn't. The connection between the Outlook Address Book and its underlying Contacts Folder(s) is fragile and easily disrupted. Data entered through that interface is easily lost or saved in the wrong location. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "M.Siler" wrote in message ...
