Distribution Lists
Can I create a distirbution list based on a Category of people from my
assigned categaories. I have all my contacts in one file. I sort them frequently by Category. I would like to create a distribution list with everyone that is in a specific category. When I go to create a distribution list, I have to select from everyone in my Contacts folder no mater what view I have set up. That is cumbersome.

Distribution Lists
Categories are a better way to group Contacts than are DL's and largely
obviate the need for a DL. Why not use the Category instead? http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2003/20030730.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "structure1098" wrote in message ...

I want a distribution list so that I can send an email to a group without
having to select each one separately. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Categories are a better way to group Contacts than are DL's and largely obviate the need for a DL.

Distribution Lists
I read the reference and it sounds exactly what I woud like to do however, it
did not advise me on how to make the distribution list from the group sorted by the category. For example if I view my contacts filtered by category, I have not been able to select that group and add them to a distribution list without individually selecting them for a list of all my contacts. I searched the help files for anything on "dynamic distribution lists" and could not find anything. Do you have a source for further instructions.

Distribution Lists
I get it now. The key is that you do not create a distribution list. Once I
select the group in the category, I select to send them a message in the Action tab instead of creating a distribution list. This should work great for me. Thank you for the lead.
