OL2000: Contact Distribution Lists Are Not Exported

• Microsoft Outlook 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you export your contacts, Microsoft Outlook does not export distribution list (DL) information.

CAUSE

Because the details of the accounts that are represented by the DL may not be in the same folder being exported, Microsoft Outlook does not export this information to other file formats.

RESOLUTION

Export the detailed information that is represented by the DL, and then re-create the DL on the target computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

You can export the actual DL information to other computers running Outlook by exporting to a PST file that also includes the folder(s) containing the detailed accounts in the DL.
