Can't update distribution list

[Paul]

I am running 2000 server sp4, exchange 2000 sp3, xp pro
sp1, outlook 2003.

I updated an email address in a distribution list that is
in a public folder (I am the owner). The list shows the
new, updated email address but when I send to the list
the email address I updated get bounced back with a NDR
showing the old email address. The other curious thing is
that when I click the Update Now button it used to grey
out indicating there were no more updates, now the Update
Now button stays available as if the updates are not
taking affect. Any help is appreciated.

FWIW, I've never seen the "Update Now" button do anything useful.
I would love to know if anyone else has.
I rather suspect it is a feature in search of a function.
It's one of many reasons most of us don't use DLs for anything important.

Ok, good to know, but any idea why when I send to
(e-mail address removed) it returns a NDR with the old email
address I already updated in the DL? It comes back saying
it couldn't send to (e-mail address removed) when I tried to send
to (e-mail address removed)?

No. Have you cleared your autocompletion cache?

I deleted (e-mail address removed) from the autocompletion list,
don't see how to clear the entire cache?

Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:

There is no .nk2 file on the hard drive, I use exchange
2000, would it be a different procedure for exchange?

If you are in fact using Outlook 2003 and you are in fact using
autocompletion, then you have an NK2 file.
Did you search for it, including hidden files?
