Importing a Distribution List   
A DL was sent to me from another Outlook 2007 user but I need to know how to 
import the file into my contacts so I can use it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Importing a Distribution List   
That would depend on how the DL was sent and in what format, neither of 
which you specified.

The correct method for doing this is for the sender to insert the DL as an 
Outlook Item in an RTF message. Then all you need do is double click the 
Item to open it and Save it to place it in your default Contacts Folder.

I have a colleague who had the same problem in Outlook 2007.  

Open the message containing the distribution list this should be an
attachment (don't open the attachment), then open your contacts in a
new window, drag the attachment into your contact window.  The list
will now be in your contacts.
