Brian Tillman said:What is your definition of a "group"? Outlook doesn't use that term when
referencing contacts.
Dave Horne said:I've created several 'Distribution Lists'. In Business Card View I
see the word Group (which was entered by Outlook) under the
particular name I've given the Distribution List in question. I used
the word Group only because Outlook labeled them so in Business Card
view.
Brian Tillman said:I see no label "group" nor a view named "Business Card". Is this in the
Business Contact Manager version of Outlook?

Business Card, Address Card, Detailed Address Card, Phone List, by
Catergory, by Company, by Location, and the most useful - Outlook Data
Files.
In Business Card view, when I create a Distribution List, the 'business
card' shows the name of the 'list' and inserts the word Group on the card
as well as giving the card a slighly different background.
If you contact me personally (davehorne at home dot nl ) I'll send you a
screen shot. I don't want to post it here since I don't want my friend's
phone numbers and addresses posted.

This is when I view the Distribution List (Group) in Contacts. I see all
the Members and some have '(e-mail)' next to their name and others no not.
All have e-mail addresses and I am at a loss to understand why I see
'extra' info only next to some members. Thanks, DH

Russ Valentine said:No mystery there since you have now revealed that you have been adding
members to this DL from different versions of Outlook. DL's use different
methods to display names in each version of Outlook. Microsoft has never
documented which method they use with each version because DL's are not a
priority for them. We have been able to determine that earlier versions
use the "Subject" field (a hidden field you would never encounter) and
more recent versions use the "Email Display As" field. In the end, none of
this is of any consequence for most users. Is there some reason you think
it is that we need to know about?
