It appears you migrated your data incorrectly. My crystal ball says you
used export and import. That's why it's broken. DLs don't survive export
and import. WHen transferring data between Outlook instances, NEVER use
export and import. Just copy the PST, if you're not using Exchange, and if
you are, create a PST and COPY the data from Exchange to the PST and then
copy that PST to the other Outlook instance. Open it there with
FileOpenOutlook Data File.

BRian,

Your crystal ball is correct that I used Import & Export. I do have
the original PST file,which is now several weeks old, saved on the old
machine. Any possibility of extracting the DL from it and bringing
those DL's over to the new machine?? Thanks for your answer...wish MS
told us that....

Sure. Put the old PST on the PC where you want the DLs. Open that PST with
FIleOpenOutlook Data File. Open the Contacts folder in the old PST.
Select the DLs. Right-click and drag them to the main Contacts. Close the
old PST with right-clickClose.
