Outlook 2003 - Can't select Contacrt Lists in new message.

[Richard Buttrey]

My company has just changed it's server version of Outlook to 2003.

In the Mail view, when creating a new message and selecting the "To:"
field, I find that although I can see public contact lists in the
"Select Names" dialog box, I am unable to find my personal Contact
Lists, yet in the Contacts view, all my personal lists are viewable
and editable.

The nearest work around I can find is to choose the Contacts View,
select one of my lists, right click on it and select the "New message
to Contact" option.

This creates a new mail addressed to the contact list as expected.
However it's of no benefit when I need to send the same email to three
distribution lists at the same time.

Is this a known bug in 2003? I certainly don't have this problem when
using my laptop 2002 version.

The only reason I have three lists is that 2002 only permitted approx
150 names in a single list. Has this changed in 2003 and if so how can
I create a single list from the three original lists?

This would at least allow me to use the work around.

Usual TIA

Oliver,

That's excellent and has fixed the problem. Thanks very much indeed.

My IT help department has been struggling to help me out with this for
days - all to no avail. I shall pass this link on to them.

Who needs an intrenal Help Desk when we have the microsoft.public.*
newsgroups ;-)

Kind regards,

Richard
