Managing Contacts and related address book distribution lists
No. DL's will not autoupdate. Even if you manually run "Update Now" for a
DL, it will not work. Most of us gave up on DL's a long time ago because they are so unreliable and featureless. Microsoft put no effort into their development and seemingly never intended for us to use them. I assume you are importing because your Contact data it is not in Outlook data format? If not, then you should not use import to create Contacts. If your Contact data is in non-Outlook format, then you should use a third party importer like Contact Genie. Outlook's Import Wizard is too dysfunctional to trust, unless you don't mind losing data. -- Russ Valentine "Jenn in Davidson" Jenn in wrote in message ...
