Appointment to group never seems to go

[Mike]

Hi, using OLK2K (not using ms exchange server)

I have a distribution list (group of email addresses) (Team1) that I have
several contacts assigned to.
I create a meeting request, and in the To: line, I put "Team1".

I then go to check 'Attendee Availability' and the attendees that it lists
are myself and "Team1", with a squared plus sign left of "Team1", indicating
that it's expandable.

When I click on the plus sign, it says that "If you expand the list, Outlook
will replace the team with its members. You will not be able to collapse it
again" and I hit okay. The only problem is, that it DOESN'T replace the
team with its members. "Team1" just disappears.

I found this article on the Microsoft support kb
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303125&Product=out2K

Anyone know of a fix, instead of (as the kb article says) entering each team
members name separately? Is it possible to upgrade or downgrade the windows
address book (WAB) to a version that won't display this problem? I'm using
version 6.00.2800.something or other.

When you create the dist list, you should always enter people as seperate contacts and then choose them to add to the dist list.

The distribution list was created in that fashion. But as the kb article
states, olk2k seems to have difficulties with certain versions of the WAB.
I'm interested in finding out if there's a better workaround than going
through my contacts and trying to remember who belongs in the list
