How do I access the Distribution List I created?

[bklawr]

I have Outlook 2007. Under my Main Contacts folder I have a folder I called
"Client List" Within that Client List I created a Distribution List (DL)
called "Current Clients", which is the ONLY thing in the Client List Folder.
I then successfully imported about 40 client addresses into that DL. So
far, so good.

When I go to send out and e-mail, and click on the "TO:" button, it does not
give me an option to select that DL. In fact, it doesn't appear anywhere.
When I scroll down my main contacts list, there are two bold highlighted
"Client List" fields. When I select one of these, it gives me a very old
list I had, which I have deleted, and the second one is empty. In any
event, I can't seem to access the new "Current Clients" DL (which, by the
way, shows up on the left side of my Contacts box as and "Outlook Data File"
if that helps any.

is the new folder enabled as an address book? Right click on it and choose
properties - look on the outlook address book tab.

to remove the other list - open the address book (Ctrl+Shift+B) - go to its
Tools menu and remove the address lists you don't want to use.

Explain how you did this. You can't import into a DL.

When I go to send out and e-mail, and click on the "TO:" button, it does not
give me an option to select that DL. In fact, it doesn't appear anywhere.
When I scroll down my main contacts list, there are two bold highlighted
"Client List" fields. When I select one of these, it gives me a very old
list I had, which I have deleted, and the second one is empty. In any
event, I can't seem to access the new "Current Clients" DL (which, by the
way, shows up on the left side of my Contacts box as and "Outlook Data File"
if that helps any.

Right-click the "Client List" folder and choose Properties. Select the
"Outlook Address Book" tab and make sure to check the box labeled "Show this
folder as an e-mail Address Book".
