'Adds a member to a new distribution list
Dim objItem As Outlook.DistListItem
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objRcpnt As Outlook.Recipient
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set objItem = Application.CreateItem(olDistributionListItem)
'Create recipient for distlist
Set objRcpnt = Application.Session.CreateRecipient("Dan Wilson")
objRcpnt.Resolve
objItem.AddMember objRcpnt
'Add note to list and display
objItem.DLName = "Northwest Sales Manager"
objItem.Body = "Regional Sales Manager - NorthWest"
objItem.Save
objItem.Display
End Sub
