Distribution List in Business Contact Manager

[Mary]

I'm transitioning to Outlook 2003 with Business Contact
Manager. There's no trouble adding contacts and putting
them in appropriate categories, but I can't figure out
how to create a distribution list or group. In regular
Outlook, I simply hit "new group" and add the email
addresses I want. But I can't find that anywhere in the
Business Contact Manager. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Mary

You must create a distribution list in your regular Contacts folder, not the
BCM folder. You can add BCM contacts to that DL.

That's not very convenient for a program that supposed to
handle all of your business contacts. I will still have
to maintain two contact folders.

Thank you for your assistance. Is there a way of making
a suggestion for an update that would allow distribution
lists in BCM? I'd be happy to put my two cents worth in.

You can make suggestions by sending them to (e-mail address removed).
