outlook distribution list won't send to contact
I set up my distribution list in Outlook 2003 and it does show up in my
contacts. I can right-click and then click on the New Message to Contact. However, when the new message window comes up, the name of the distribution list is plain text - there is no plus sign and it is not bold. Any ideas?

Have you opened the DL and verified it has valid addresses?

Yes, I even did a test one with just two email addresses (mine and my son's)
and get the same results. I think if I can get Contacts to show up in my "show names from" in the address books, it might work? But I can't get that either.

it doesn't matter how the addresses are entered - if the dl is valid it will
resolve. How did you create this DL? You may need to delete it and start over. You can save the addresses out (File,Save as) to a text file and copy and paste them into the new one if need be. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I have re-created the original, and I have created the new one with just the
two email addresses. Both still just put plain text in the To box on the new email message.

I've tried to check the box that labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book" but it won't allow me to. Any other suggestions? "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "bdink1223" wrote in message ...

does this apply?
If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To button, check these settings: Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? If this is grayed out... Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to a bug. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
