Can a distribution list in someone's personal Contact lists be moved or

No. DL's contain no Contact detail other than name and email address.
What sort of sharing are you trying to achieve? Are you using Exchange Server? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "pack815" wrote in message ... Can a distribution list in someone's personal Contact lists be moved or shared with another person where the detail portion of each contact also is shared? |

distribution lists in Contacts
Apparently, entries in the person Contact address books has the "details"
portion of the entry completed. They have used these single entries to create an distribution list located in "Contracts." They now want to share this distribution list with another but they want the "details" portion of the entries to travel with the distribution list. Your message reads like when a distributiion list is created only the name and email address make up the components of the list, which does make sense. Thanks for the information.

Correct. The DL can be "shared" by sending it as an Outlook Item to another
user. But any link to the underlying Contact Records from which it was created is broken. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "pack815" wrote in message ...

Open the DL and click FileSave As. Specify "Text" as the Save As Type. It will be saved as a tab-delimited text file which Excel can read. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
