how to retrieve accidently deleted distribution list Outlook 2003
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 SH |

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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SH" wrote in message ...

how to retrieve accidently deleted distribution list Outlook 2
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. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Common problem.

how to retrieve accidently deleted distribution list Outlook 2
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.... "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: But DL's don't reside in an "address book" (Outlook has no address book).

Right. But if you can still use it, it must reside in at least one of your
Contact Folders. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SH" wrote in message ... When I have Outlook 2003 open, and I put my pointer on the book icon at the top bar, it says address book.

how to retrieve accidently deleted distribution list Outlook 2
That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'll have to examine an NK2 to see if
it stores every address in a DL or just a link to the DL itself. I know DL's create unique entries in the NK2 file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

how to retrieve accidently deleted distribution list Outlook 2
I'm pretty sure the full list is cached. I got bit once having autocomplete generate a DL entry that had a stale address in it.
