Help with Distribution List, not working

[Tom S]

I set up my distribution list and it does show up in my contacts but when I
go to send an email to the group I get an error saying that Office can't find
the contact group. Help!

There's no information.
Explain how you created the DL.
Explain how you are selecting it and sending the message.
Provide a more accurate error message.
Include your Outlook version.

I am having the same issue. Here is how I create my DL:
From Outlook I click on the drop down by new and select Distribution list.
I name my distribuiton list. I click on Select Members and utilize the Global
Address book to add the names and email addresses, I then save and close.
I click on New to send an email in the TO feild I type in the designated
name I gave my DL and continue on with the email, however outlook is never
able to find the DL name and will undscore the DL name in red. If I click
send I get the address book that doesn't include my newly created DL.

There's no information.

Since you are using the GAL, you are asking a question about the AD and
Exchange, not Outlook.
