Update Distribution Lists

[Clair Heise]

Is anyone aware of a way to update email addresses in an
Outlook Distribution Group directly from the Contact? In
other words, when I change an email address in the
individual contact, I'd like to see that change
automatically (or semi) update the corresponding contact
in the distribution list. (Outlook 2002) Thank you. Clair

The Update now button in the DL is supposed to provide that function.
If it doesn't, then you are not alone.

Russ, Thank you for the response. Update now does not
work. Have you heard of any work arounds? Clair

None. It's one of many reasons most of us abandoned DL's log ago. They're
just more trouble than they're worth.
