Default Distribution list - auto completes, but not in contact folder

"kmkw" wrote in message
...

When sending a message, autocomplete will fill in the name of a distribution
list, but the distribution list is not in my contacts folder. Where else
could it be stored? I have tried "find" in the address book too.
I need to update it or replace it.
I am using Outlook 2003 on XP, and it is not exchange.


It is stored only in the autocompletion cache. I suspect that is was
contained in a message sent to you and to which you replied. If you compose a
new message, let the DL autocomplete, the tab out of the recipient list, does
the DL name resolve (become underlined)? If so, does it have a plus sign to
its left? If so, click the plus sign to expand it and you should be able to
make a local DL with the results or add them to your Contacts folder.
