NOTE: The procedures in this article only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup option. With this option, you can use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, click About Microsoft Outlook on the Help menu. If you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation, you see "Corporate or Workgroup".



SYMPTOMS
If you choose to convert a Personal Address Book (PAB) containing a Distribution List (DL) to your Outlook Contacts, the DL name may be imported but it may not contain any contact items.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when the DL is large ( 130 items or more, depending on the amount of information in each item) and the Contacts folder resides in a Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox.



RESOLUTION
Replace the large DL with two or more smaller DLs and then import the PAB to your Contacts folder.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem does not occur when you import a large DL to a Contacts folder located in a Personal Folders (PST) file.
