Sub AddNewMember()
	'Adds a member to a new distribution list

	Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
	Dim objItem As Outlook.DistListItem
	Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
	Dim objRcpnt As Outlook.Recipient

	Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
	Set objMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    
	Set objItem = olApp.CreateItem(olDistributionListItem)
	'Create recipient for distlist
	Set objRcpnt = olApp.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
