Created Distribution list, but not in my Global Address list
Hi,
I don't know if there is a problem with my outlook. Howver if I create a Distribution list, it does not appear in my Global Address List. If I create a new email and put the distribution list name in To field it does not recognise it even though the distribution appears in Contacts. Any help would be appreciated.

Created Distribution list, but not in my Global Address list
It is up to the Exchange administrator to create a distribution list in the GAL. That's not an Outlook function.
Have you checked to see whether your contacts folder is being used for name resolution? Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Jamie" wrote in message ...

Created Distribution list, but not in my Global Address list
I have the same problem. I have a distribution list in the GAL. It is the
company's list. My personal distribution list shows only in the Contacts folder. When I attempt to send a distribution list e-mail from the Contacts folder, it is not activated. I have to enter each name manually. When I checked the Tools menu as you suggest below, only the company's address book and other lists appeared. I was not able to add contacts.

Try using the Tools | E-mail Accounts command to add a new address list -- the Outlook Address Book.

Created Distribution list, but not in my Global Address list
I have added the Outlook Address Book as my personal address book. The
personal address book now shows up and the individual members of the distribution list are activated, but the distribution list, itself, still does not activate. Thanks!

The title of the Distribution List does not become underlined. It will not
send.

In Tools | Address Book, Tools | Options, make sure that the contacts folder that contains the DL is one of the address lists used for to check names.

Created Distribution list, but not in my Global Address list
It is not one of the address lists. It is not listed as one of the choices
which I can make. Is there some way I can add it to my choices?

Please explain, then, what contacts lists you are seeing under the Outlook Address Book in the address book dialog.
