Recenlty on my Desktop I've encountered issues with distribution list whereas they have worked for several years until now. I'm running WinXP Pro, Office 2003 with all the latest updates. If I open a new email and type a distribution list name and then click on the + to expand it I get the message "Cannot perform the requested operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient. The operation failed."

If I go into the address book I can open the entry for the distribution list and when I click the update button it works. If I click the select members button and then click on the dropdown for "Show names from the" window I see three entries for "Contacts" but only one works the other two fail if I attempt to use them. How do I remove the invalice entries for "Contacts" in this list?
 
Microsoft provides the Inbox Repair Tool for correcting most problems with damaged Personal Folders .pst files. If you do not see the Inbox Repair Tool on the Start menu, under Programs | Accessories | System Tools, use Start | Find or Start | Search (depending on your operating system) to search your system for Scanpst.exe. Run it and it may fix the problem.
