I exported several DL's from Outlook XP. I upgraded to Outlook 2003
Pro, and want to import them in. Can anyone help me do this, or point
me at a 3rd party solution that will allow me to recreate and save
these in the future> Sure would hate to have to redo each one, I had
exported them out as OL templates, can open them as DL's within the
folder they're saved in. Just cannot seem to import them back in.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "I had exported them out as OL templates, can
open them as DL's within the folder they're saved in." What format did you
save these templates in -- .OFT? If so, what happens when you double-click
those .OFT files in Windows Explorer?

For future reference, to back up your DLs, just save your entire .PST file,
or create a new .PST file and copy the DLs to a Contacts folder within that
..PST -- you can easily open the .PST in another copy of Outlook and use or
copy the DLs from there.

Why would you want ot go through all this trouble. DLs are just entries in
the Contacts folder. Just open up your your old PST and you'll have
everything.
