Delete Contacts / Distribution Lists
Riddle me this... I have a Distribution List named "Employees". I have an
employee named Joe Smoe. Joe leaves the company so I delete his contact from my Outlook. Why is Joe still in my distribution list? How do I get Outlook to recognize that if I delete a contact, it should be deleted from my DL? This is a simplified example, but in reality I have several contacts that could be affiliated to multiple DL's. I don't want to rely on my memory to pull him from all the DL's? Thanks

Delete Contacts / Distribution Lists
DL's will not update automatically and never have. They should, but they
don't, and it's not going to be fixed. Few savvy users use DL's. They're just too much trouble. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "KJ" wrote in message ... Riddle me this...

Why is Joe still in my distribution list? Because you didn't open the DL and delete it. How do I get Outlook to recognize that if I delete a contact, it should be deleted from my DL? You can't. -- Brian Tillman
