Outlook 2000 losing distribution list

[Brent White]

I have a person who has several distribution lists that are part of a
larger distribution list. He is trying to update the email address on
one of the contacts.

If he goes into the larger distribution list and tries to click on the
distribution list within it, it says it can not find the list. I
verified both lists are in Contacts.

What is missing here? I exported the file and then reimported it to
no avail.

DL's are not robust and cannot exist for very long without becoming corrupt.
Nested DL's are even worse. Most users gave up on DL's long ago.

Okay, so enough propaganda. What do I do to FIX the problem?

You can't. You can only recreate the DL if you want to keep beating your
head against the wall.
Propaganda? What an odd thing to say.
