Default how to retrieve accidently deleted distribution list Outlook 2

Right. But if you can still use it, it must reside in at least one of your
Contact Folders.

When I have Outlook 2003 open, and I put my pointer on the book icon at
the
top bar, it says address book. When I click on that address book, a list
of
contacts opens up. Normally my group distribution lists are mixed in with
that list of contacts. The group list I deleted accidentally is no longer
in
that list of contacts....

They reside in Contact Folders.

When I look for the list in my address book it is not there. But when I
create a new email and write in the name of the (accidentally deleted)
group,
it appears in the address line. I can then click on the name of the
group
and
retrieve the names to print out, but can't put the whole list back as a
current distribution list.

Common problem. What do you mean "it is in cache" so you can print it
out?
If you've deleted it from Deleted Items, it is gone.

Accidentally deleted an entire distribution list instead of deleting
just
one
contact from the list. I hit the red X. There was no warning, it
just
disappeared. It is not in the deleted folder or anywhere else I can
see....It
is in cache, so I am able to print out a list. But is there a way to
avoid
redoing the list? Also to have it give me a "are you sure" message
instead
of
just deleting the list.
Thanks
