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
