Hi, I want to create a distribution list from contacts listed in MS Access. I
can create the distribution list contact item and fill with recipients so
that their name is actually their email address.

Unfortunitely this is not user friendly to review when compared with having
each recipient listed with their name and email address in separate
columns/fields. The following adds a recipient with the same value in the
name and email address fields. That is, name is someone@somewhere.co.nz and
email is someone@somewhere.co.nz

   Set myOlDistList = myOlApp.CreateItem(olDistributionListItem)
   myOlDistList.DLName = DistListName
   Do Until rstDistList.EOF
       Set myOlRecipient = myOlApp.Session.CreateRecipient(rstDistList!Email)
       myOlRecipient.Resolve
       myOlDistList.AddMember myOlRecipient
       rstDistList.MoveNext
       DoEvents
   Loop
   rstDistList.Close
   myOlDistList.Save
   myOlDistList.Display

I would like to create each recipient with the name of the contact and the
email address stored in the email field.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated :-)

Many thanks, Jonathan
