Problems propagating edited address

B

Barry Margulies

I'm having a really silly problem with the Entourage address book. If I
delete or edit a single contact's e-mail address, and that person is in
multiple groups, Entourage randomly picks the groups in which the change
will take place. For example, if I change [email protected] to
[email protected] in her contact, and I have [email protected] as a member
of 8 different groups, her address is only changed to [email protected] in
a random set of somewhere between 2 and 5 of those groups.

I'm using Office X 10.1.5 in MacOS 10.2.8.

Thanks!

It all depends how you added 'jane' to the groups. If you added her by
dragging the individual contact entry into the group window, the changes to
the individual will propagate through. If you added her by typing the
address in, they won't (because there is no contact associated with that
entry).
