Amending a distribution list in command box | Outlook forum

Thank you for responding, Simon - but you will see in my message that I had already tried to amend in the way you suggest - and had encountered the problem.

A distribution list can be created either from the global list or locally. If you double click on an entry created from the global list you are taken to the entire outlook record. If you double click on an entry created "locally" you get a small properties box which you can amend easily. I am now finding that even entries originally made the "local" way are now linked to the outlook record only.

To get round this, I tried to access via the properties box of the email address in the entire contact record yet it is obvious from the way details are entered that this is a different properties box. Therfore there must be two properties boxes and I cannot seem to access the one linked to the distribution list.

If you can suggest anything further I'd appreciate knowing how this can be overcome without having to delete the entire entry if only a small portion requires amending. We have many distribuiton lists which require constant updating and the current problem will make the work very time consuming.
