Sub AddNewMember() 
 
 '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
