Outlook will not transfer over distribution lists?

[acoustic5679]

Hello,

I am having trouble getting this question answered. I have searched quite a few forums with no luck. Is there a way to import distribution lists along with the contacts in outlook? I am trying to export a clients entire outlook account, that is on outlook 2003 over to a a new Windows 7 machine that has Outlook 2010 on it. Everything imports over correctly except the distribution lists do not transfer over. Any ideas?

Are they local to the computer, or on an exchange server? Try to update the lists to make sure they do't have any outdated or corrupt contacts. Open the disto lists, click on update now. Then try to transfer.

They are local to the computer. We can get it to update and transfer in outlook 2003. But when we try to import from the PST file in 2010 the distribution lists do not carry carry over.
