I need to take "Global Address" Distribution Lists and convert them into
invidiual e-mail addresses to use for an e-vite. Is there an easy way to do
this?

Why? Why not send your "e-vite" (whatever that is) to the DL?

The distribution lists are not available on-line to send an e-vite.

You said they're in the GAL. That should always be available. How would you
send any messages to anyone in the GAL if it's not available?

Saving as a text file or hitting forward and opening the text file is not an
option given.

What version of outlook? This will work in 2003 and 2007:
Start a message, add the GAL DL and expand it.
Copy the addresses, paste them into an outlook dl form. (see
http://www.slipstick.com/tutorials/create/dl.asp - Create DL part)
Now you can do the forward or save as trick to get the email addresses into
a text file.

Correct! Sorry!

I think she means she's using an e-vite service, not a meeting request in
outlook.
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/dl/dl.asp shows how to do it.

I tried that. The only thing shows up is the name and not the e-mail address.

Are the names in the GAL? If so, they will resolve to the addresses.
See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/printdl.htm for a video of the steps.
