Updating Distribution Lists

[marv]

Just upgraded with a new computer from Outlook XP to
Outlook 2003. All Contacts and info appeared to migrate
very well. Only problem now is with Distribution Lists
which also migrated. But when I try "Update Now," it will
not recognize the Contacts folder and wants to convert
all recipients to non-Contact status. That means when I
update a Contact with a new e-mail address it won't be
updated in the Distribution List. I already tried. Any
thoughts on how to get the list to recognize the Contacts?

DL's never survive an import. You'll have to recreate them if you want them
to be able to update. Even then, the Update Now button only works about half
the time.
You might want to consider alternatives to DL's. I abandoned them log
ago--too buggy.
