Hi there,
How can I make sure that when I change a Contacts email address any Distribution Lists that Contact is a member of get updated automatically? Currently it seems I have to manully update the DL by removing and re-adding the member, which seems a little silly. thx |

Did you try the "Update Now?" Button. It works about 10% of the time.

that requires knowing and opening the DL so would not be automatic. ties in
with my other q regarding being able to view DL membership from within the contact object itself. so i guess it's not possible. grumble "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Did you try the "Update Now?"

Not only that, but the utility they do provide hardly ever works.
