New Outlook Distribution List Location
I have a folder hierarchy as follows: Public folders ...All Public Folders ......Dept .........Distribution List How do I create an Outlook Distribution List in a folder other than the default "Contacts" folder ("Distribution List")? I have a folder object with the FullFolderPath where I want the DL to be saved, but DistListItem.SaveAs(fld.FullFolderPath, Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olTXT) gives me an error {"The operation failed."}. I can start Outlook and manually get to the DL folder, though. Thanks, Scott -- scottb2 http://forums.slipstick.com

New Outlook Distribution List Location
DistListItem.SaveAs(fld.FullFolderPath, Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olTXT) will
attempt to save that DL as a text file in the file system at the path you're providing. If the folder is a contacts folder use folder.Items.Add(olDistributionListItem) where folder is your folder. The function will return a DL object. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
