Default How do I import an Excel file into an Outlook distribution lis

Im trying to import from Excel into Outlook folder and it won't work. We
just recently upgraded to Office 2007. I'm doing it the same way I did it
before but it doesn't work. Just appears to be importing then gives me a
Microsft Error and shuts down.

I did try to go in and name the ranges but then get an ODBC error that too
many items have been defined. It's the same amount of contacts I had before
and it was working fine, I just need to update the list.

Any suggestions?

You cannot do that but you could import it into the Contact folder and then
create the DL

Save the spreadsheet as a CSV and you may have more suggess. No named
ranges needed.

You can't import into a DL.
