So, just to be clear. This used to work fine. I have been using Outlook
for
many years. I updated to Office 07 a few months ago I don't know if this
is a
result as I don't use the address book very much.

And in fact the addressbook is just a view of Contacts....used when you are
composing an email.


I usually use my contacts folder to view contacts. I recently wanted to
make a distribution list, so I
went to the address book

You don't make a D/L in the Addressbook - see above, You open Contacts and
do New-Distribution list.
