Can't use my created distribution lists in Outlook 2003 2

[zolee]

I created a distribution list in the Contacts section of Outlook 2003, then right click on it and chosen "New message to contact". The New Message window is opened, the distribution list name is filled in the To field, but it doesn't become bold, and when I try to send the message, it does not find the distribution list: I get "No Suggestions" in the check names window. When I press "Show more names" button, I have the "Show names for the" dropdown where I guess I should have "Contacts" in the list but I don't.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Try this:

Open Outlook and select; Tools, e-mail accounts, add new directory or address book. Choose aditional address books and then outlook adress book.

It sounds like you are having a similar problem that I did and this is what I did to fix it. Hope it helps.

Thanks Shaon, you helped a lot. I was looking for this solution for a while but wasn't able to find it by myself. I still don't know why my outlook doesn't do this thing OOB like for my colegues (they have the same instalation and configuration) but I am glad that it finaly works with this work-around

Thanks again,

Respect.
