This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new distribution list and adds the current user and 'Dan Wilson' to the list. If the specified recipient is not valid, the AddMember method will fail. Therefore, to run this example, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name.
Sub AddNewMembers()
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myDistList As Outlook.DistListItem
Dim myTempItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myRecipients As Outlook.Recipients
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI
Set myDistList = Application.CreateItem(olDistributionListItem
Set myTempItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem
Set myRecipients = myTempItem.Recipients
myDistList.DLName = _
InputBox("Enter the name of the new distribution list
myRecipients.Add myNameSpace.CurrentUser.Name
myRecipients.Add "Dan Wilson
myRecipients.ResolveAll
myDistList.AddMembers myRecipients
myDistList.Save
myDistList.Display
End Sub
