I recently upgraded to a new computer and am running Win XP with Office XP.
Old computer was Win ME with office XP. I exported & imported & restored my
Outlook data files per instructions in this group and Office help.
I am trying to create a "mailing list" for email messages to go to all
contacts assigned to a particular category and I seem to be thwarted at
every turn. I try to create a distribution list, name it Mailing List, and
havechoose all contacts assigned to "mailing list" category, but when I go
to Select Members, I get a message saying the list cannot be displayed -
contacts folder may have moved or deleted or you don't have permission. I've
reimported the data from the old computer but I still have the same problem.
I checked all the files and they are NOT marked Read Only.
I'm at my wit's end and I'd really appreciate some advice that would help.
TIA
Denise
 
I can't think of any instructions you found in this group that would tell
you to import and export. Nor is that ever the correct way to transfer
Outlook data.
Hopefully, the only thing you've lost is the connection between the Outlook
Address Book. Remove the Outlook Address Book from your profile. Restart
Outlook. Re-add it and make sure it is connected to your current Contacts
Folder.
If you need more explicit instructions, they are here:
