I've looked at old posts and I see someone had the same
problem as I do, but I couldn't find any resolution so I'm
treading up old info here:

We use Outlook 2000.

My receptionist has a distribution list withing her
personal address book. I would like her to send that list
to another member of our staff. But when we follow the
directions in the help to send a distribution list the
recipient just get a blank message as the attachment, not
the list. There is a note in the help that states "To
send a distribution list to someone else, the members of
the distribution list must be selected from the Global
Address Book and the recipient of the distribution list
also must use the same Global Address Book". Does this
mean that the two user must be in the same Global Address
Book, or does it mean that they must share a Global
Address Book, or am I completely reading this wrong?

I would rather be able to just send the list instead of
manually adding the 300 to 400 item list.

any help will be appreciated.

Thank You
Joe
 
Are you really using a PAB? PAB's haven't been used for 6 years. I doubt any
documentation remains about those DL's.
You can send DL's from your Exchange mailbox or PST file by attaching them
as an Outlook Item to a message in RTF format.
 
How do you import that rtf file back into Outlook?

It's not an RTF file. Only the message is in RTF format. It's an Outlook
Item and there is no need to import it.
