Update a distribution list to send to a new email address for a contact

I am using Outlook 2002 on a Windows 2000 PC.
When I have changed the email address of one of my
contacts on their contact form (which I have modified to
suit my needs), and then want to update the distribution
list to include this new address, all I will get when
going to "Select Members..." is the contact's old email
address.
 
If the contact was in the distribution list before you changed their e-mail,
the distribution list will display the old e-mail, but, if you send a
message to the distribution list, the message will go to the _new_ e-mail,
the one you just entered. Basically, the display doesn't update, but the
resolution process catches the new address. Confusing, I know.
 
Have you tried the "Update Now" button in the DL?
It probably won't work, but that's what it's supposed to do.
