I'm a bit confused. I don't see what creating DLs would have to do with modifying the contact form.

In any case, I'd skip the whole process of creating DLs and just apply multiple categories to each contact or use the category and the country to locate those particular people, with a filtered or a grouped view. You can then select and send messages to those people a couple of different ways.

Thanks for your response Sue.

What I really want to do is to be able to select certain categories for
distribution lists according to location.

For instance.

I have a category for people who support one subject, ie a football team -
so the category is "football". However in that category I want seperate
dl's for those in the UK those in Europe, those in the US, those in Japan
and so on. - about 10 dl's in all for the variouse areas of the world I
correspond with.

I want to add the location field to the default form so that when I create a
DL, I can select members for each list by "finding" first the category,
"football", and then the area ie Country.

This could be done very quickly and easily in Outlook Express but why can't
I do it in Outlook.

Whenever I add a new contact and detail the Category and location, I can
then easily update the DL.

Regards, Rob

Hello

Using OL2003 and I want to slightly change the "Contact" form to add
another field. When I edit it, it has a different layout and the field
for the contact's image is not there.

How can I retain the default "contact" form and add the extra field.

Am I missing something here. I have been trying to find info and do it
for several hours!!

Thanks Rob
