Attachment: What's the difference between these two contacts?
In one of our user's distribution lists, it contains two kinds of contacts,
based on the icons in the attached picture. If the email address is changed in the "new" type of contact, updating a distribution list will update the contact information, but not for the "old" style. Can anyone tell me how I can make all of the contacts consistent? |

You can't. Each Contact was created in a different version of Outlook.
DL's barely work with Contacts from the same version. They never work with Contacts from different versions. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] - wrote in message ...

Is there a utility which can do this?

None that I know of.
Depending on how many Contacts are involved, you'd be better off recreating those Contacts with the green in their icons. They were created in an outdated and simplified version of Outlook 2000 that did not support full Outlook features and relied on the Windows Address Book. That's why they don't work any more. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] - wrote in message ... Is there a utility which can do this? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... You can't.
