Members of distribution lists go away after import
We recently updated an old computer running Windows 98 and Outlook 2000 to a
brand new computer running XP and Outlook 2000. I copied the .pst file to the server from the old machine then set up the new machine and copied the ..pst back over to the new machine. I then imported the .pst into the newly installed Outlook 2000. When I did, all of the contacts were intact, but there were no members in the distribution lists. Other than adding them manually, how do I get them back in there? Why didn't they come over properly in the first place?

Members of distribution lists go away after import
Well documented here countless times. DL's do not survive importing. Why you
would import a PST file when you already had your data in Outlook's native format is the real mystery here. Unless you want to lose Outlook data (like DL's) you open PST files. You never import them. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "richmrc" wrote in message ...
