I have imported my email list from Express into Outlook but the "groups"
didn't come with it so I have to create new groups. My internet provider
limits my mass sending to 40 receipants so I have to create many groups. The
best way to create these groups is to be able to sort my customers out from
all of my contacts by the Job Title I give them.

The trouble is that the Outlook Address book doesn't seem to have an option
to sort my address book by anything other than Name, Display Name, Email
Addreess and SMTP.

If I can sort by Job Title than I can easily sort my customers into the
groups I want. Can this be done?

Group your contacts by the Job Title field. Select a group, and click
Actions>New Message to Contact. Don't bother with DLs or the address book
interface for this purpose.

Sorry, I think I may have not be clear. I want to create new Groups by
selecting from a "filtered" list of names. Instead of searching through my
entire contacts list, I want to sort out the people I want through the Job
Titles so I can select them easier to put into a group.

shawna,
Have you tried opening your Contact Folder in Outlook and creating a New
View based on "By Job Title.
Select Views from the toolbar> Arrange by>Current View> Customize View>
Define View> Name the View "By Job Title"> Select in Table format> Define
the View to include:
Full Name
Job Title
Company
etc....

There should be a column that shows the Job Title Field, Right click it and
select to Group by this field> Also as a sub category you can Group or Sort
by full name.

I thought I understood and I'm telling you avoid distribution lists. I
don't know what you mean by "groups", however.
