Hello All,

Outlook v10

I've got a client trying to create a distribution list from a large list of
contacts. She wants to be able to send emails by state. Example; create a
distribution list to everyone with an AZ address.

After looking through here and trying unsuccessfully for an hour or so I've
decided to see if you have any suggestions on how to solve this.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't use a distlist for that. In the contacts folder, you can group
your categories by state. Then you can drag a group to the inbox to add the
contacts as recipients to an e-mail.

Thanks for your response Michael.

In the contact screen, yes I can view by state then drag a group of contacts
into the address field of an email. However, it bringing in all the info for
each recipient, not just email addresses. (which Outlook can't process or
just discard)

Am I describing your suggestion correctly or am I doing something wrong?

You don't drag it to the To field of a message, you drag the selection to the
Inbox (or Outbox) to open a new message window with your contacts in the To
field.
