sI have created a distribution list in Outlook 2003 and need to add more
members.
All of my contact folders appear in my Address Book; however, when I go to
the Properties of the distribution list, click the Modify Members button and
then the Add button, I cannot see all of my contact folders that I need to
select the members from. Can you tell me why those contact folder appear in
my Address Book but not in the drop down list when I need to select?
 
Clarify your post. These are not options I have ever seen in Outlook 2003.
Include your information store while you amplify the details.
 
I'll try to clarify. If I go to my Address Book and expand the drop-down
list under "Show names from the", I can see all the contact folders I marked
to use with the address book. But if I check the Properties of a
distribution list and try to add members, when I go to the drop-down list
which should show the same contact folders that I marked, they do not appear.
Thus, I can't add those members to my distribution list. If this is still
unclear, please advise.

You mean you are trying to add members through the Address Book interface?
Not how Outlook works.
Outlook uses Contacts Folders.
