Sorry Russ, maybe we're at cross-purposes. The members of a DL list do
appear in my Contacts but the DL itself doesn't. I understand that it's
supposed to show with a 2-headed icon, but they don't appear at all. Yes I
have two Contact folders (actually I have four, because I ended up with
duplicates having upgraded from Outlook 2000). I have searched all four
using the "Find" tool; nothing.

Then if you see them, they exist in your Contacts. It cannot be otherwise.
Examine your folder hierarchy carefully. Did you create more than one
Contacts Folder?
