Creating Distribution lists in Outlook from BCM contacts

[eve.julian]

Does anyone have a good way for creating a distribution list in
Outlook using contacts in BCM? I want to be able to create
distribution lists for the different categories in BCM.

Thanks!

i don't think this can be done easily. the d-list function for outlook is
painfully bad. it also has a limit of 8kb (which equates to 100 or so
contacts). plus, the only way to do this is to sort out your target
recipients, copy them to your personal contacts, then make as many d-lists as
you need (100 at a time!).

microsoft totally dropped the ball on this.

as a workaround, i usually create a report, then merge it into an email with
Word. not as easy as a d-list, but it works.
