How to Transfer/Move a Distriturtion Group OL 2003

[Dennis Hughes]

My wife just took over the email duties for her organization. This requires
sending an email message to appx 250 members each week. She uses OL 2003
and the current person uses OL 2003.

How best to get the addresses/distribution group from the current person's
computer, without having to manually retype all the addresses?

If there is a solution, thanks a whole lot,

Dennis

Does her organization use Exchange server for their e-mails or are they just
standalone users? If the latter, the current person can export the contacts
to a new .PST file (or better yet, create a new .PST file and copy the
contacts to it -- create a Contacts folder in the new .PST file, open the
original Contacts folder, click CTRL+A to select all, then right-click and
drag to the new .PST's Contacts folder -- select the Copy option when you
release the mouse button). The .PST can be given to your wife -- she can put
it anywhere on her hard drive, make sure it's not read only, then open it in
Outlook using File | Open | Outlook Data File.

You can also simply insert the DL as an Outlook Item to an RTF message and
email it.

Russ,

I right clicked on the DL and selected send contact in Outlook format. I
send it and it was a .msg file.

I had no luck in importing the .msg file into the other Outlook.
