Hello:
How can I get a Distribution List to display the individual contacts on the
Members page when I double-click to view it?

Other lists are working normally, but not this one.

I'm trying to do this so I can save this Distribution List to a .txt file,
then import the names/e-mail addresses into Excel 2007.

1. In Contacts, I double-click on the DL to open the Distribution List window.
2. The Members page appears, but instead of the individual names and e-mails
addrs, there is an DG icon for the file.
3. Clicking the icon opens the properties window for the DL displaying the
General, Member Of and E-mail addresses tabs.
4. All the names and emails I am looking for back in Step 2, appear as
expected in the General Tab->Members panel, so it's clear that the file
contains the data I want.

Thanks for all the help on this board!
 
File: Save as .txt results in a text file that just shows the name of the DL
and under Members: the name of the DL again.
 
Thanks, Diane.
Great idea, but the resulting .txt file just shows the name of the DL
and under Members: the name of the DL again.
 
Hello:

I asked the person that created the DL to export and send a .txt file.
That worked, it has 470 email addresses.
I guess this is a permissions/rights security issue, so I'll drop it.

Thanks again, Diane:

How did you create the DL? Does it work to send email? Is there a DL inside
the DL?

No need to multipost. If you are searching in the address book view, cease
and desist. Search your Contacts Folders for this DL instead.
