Distribution List Conflict
I set up a distribution list in Outlook and gave it a name.
Then I needed to remove one email address from the distribution list. Since I couldn't figure out how to remove one email address from the list, I just deleted the list and created a new list using the same name. My outlook auto-fills previously entered email addresses in the To field and now whenever it auto-fills the distribution list name, it says that distribution list is no longer valid. This is most likely happening because the distribution list I deleted had the same name as the new one I replaced it with. How do I fix this so that when it auto-fills the distribution list name, it sends the email to the new distribution list? I want to avoid using a different distribution list name if at all possible. |

Distribution List Conflict
Whenever you change a DL you must also remove its entry from the
autocompletion cache. When it appears on the suggested names list, highlight it with your arrow key and hit Delete. -- Russ Valentine "AKMMS" wrote in message ...

Distribution List Conflict
If you delete the autocomplete entry, everything should be back to normal.
To remove a member from a DL, use the Remove command. If you need further assistance, please give your Outlook version. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "AKMMS" wrote: I set up a distribution list in Outlook and gave it a name.
