The Name or Distribution List Has Been Deleted and Is No Longer Va

[frustratedASusual]

outlook 2003, winxp
I opened up my contacts and selected my distribution list, and decided to
remove one of the names/entries, I hit delete and the entire DL disappeared,
I found it sitting in the trash, clicked and dragged it back to the contacts
folder and dropped it in. opened the DL again and its ok all contacts are
there. from the actions pulldown I can select NEW MESSAGE TO CONTACT and it
will open a new mail message wit the DL listed, when I click on the DL + sign
to expand the list of contacts it populates the field with all the names no
problem. when I create a new mail message in the usual way or even FORWARD
to someone else and I choose the DL it comes into the field fine but when I
expand it I get the error message, if I send it like that it says AN ERROR
HAS OCCURED.

Please help

Did you restart Outlook after you moved the DL?

time for good fairy luck and BLAM it works!!
