Thank you Brian. I didn't realize only one copy would be sent even if the
name was duplicated. That was my biggest issue. Thanks so much.

What I am trying to do is combine two distribution lists without

names from one list to another.

Just include one of the lists inside the other. You can next DLs.

If this dream is made a reality it would also be helpful to have the
program automatically delete a duplicate. This way if a person is on
both lists they will not receive duplicate emails.

They wouldn't receive duplicates anyway. Since Outlook must expand lists
prior to sending, it can check to see if the same address is listed more
than once. If it is, it is used once only. You can prove this to yourself,
if you'd like. Create a list that includes you own address threee times and
send a message using that list. You'll get a single message.
