DL's have an "Update Now" button. Have you tried that? It doesn't work for
most people, but you may be among the lucky few. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chuck Barnett" Chuck wrote in message ...

Because there's no connection from a member of a DL back to the original
contact record. The last 48 digits of the EntryID of a distlist member represents the EntryID of the contact item.

Thank you, all for trying to help me with this. Sounds like "put up with it"
or hammer M/S to make changes. Chuck Barnett "Peter Marchert" wrote: Because there's no connection from a member of a DL back to the original contact record.
