Making a Distribution List
I'm trying to make a distribution list from my bosses' contacts, which I have
access to, but can't seem to make it happen. Bosses' contacts list does not appear in the drop-down list to pick from?

Making a Distribution List
You can't use a shared contacts folder in a DL.

Making a Distribution List
I have done it by copying all of my boss' contacts into a sub folder I
created in my mailbox. This way, his contacts folder appears in the drop-down list to pick from. Let me know if you need detailed steps.

Making a Distribution List
Note that when you copy the contacts they will not be synced if you make
changes - you have your copy of his contacts, he has his own and they may end up totally different weeks down the road. -- 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.

Making a Distribution List
I do realize that. Most bosses though do not enter their own contacts, let
alone create Distribution Lists - these tasks are normally done by their assistants. I am an assistant and it is my responsibillity to make sure the contacts are updated.
