DistListItem.AddMember Method (Outlook)
Office 2013
Published: July 16, 2012
Adds a new member to the specified distribution list. The distribution list contains Recipient objects that represent valid e-mail addresses.
Use the AddMembers method to add multiple members to a given distribution list.
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new DistributionList object and adds a recipient to it. If the specified recipient is not valid, the AddMember method will fail. To run this example, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name.
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
