Where does Outlook 2000 store the members of a distribution list?

OK I needed to move Outlook 2000 from an old machine to a new machine
for my wife. I followed the instructions on Microsoft's site to the
letter. Copied the .pst folder, outcmd.dat, *.nav, etc.

Restored them all to the proper locations under Win XP (SP2). Outlook
works fine. All the folders are in the tree. All the mail is there.
Calendar is complete. Contacts are there.

However, what is missing is that my wife had several distibution lists
that were made up of contacts. The record for the distribution list is
there, but the members listed in the distribution is blank. Any idea
where this is stored so that I can copy it off the old machine?

Also, under Outlook 2000 is there a limit to the number of members to
a distribution list or is that controlled by the mail systems on ISP's
that limit the number of addresses in a "To" field?


Thanks.
 
DL's are stored in the PST file, but will only survive if you migrate
correctly.
Tell us what you did. Copying the PST could mean anything. You must
expressly configure Outlook to use the old PST.
