[AccessD] A2K3: Add eMail Addy to Outlook Distibution List?

Andy,

This looks good for creating the contact.  Do you also have sample
code to add a contact to a distribution list?

>> Hello all!

>> list in Outlook via a button click from the Customer screen.  
>> 
>> The Newsletter distribution list resides within UserA's

>> 
>> Hopefully somebody can point me to a good resource for 
>> Access-Outlook interaction, or has done this before and can

>> 
>> In the meantime, I'll head back to Google and see what I can

>> 
>> Suggestions?
