Creating Outlook Distribution List with FoxPro 1

[billinmi]

We use a Visual FoxPro application I created for our in-house database, but some of our 'road warriors' need to have some of that information in Outlook. Through MS' site I found some code to have FoxPro create Outlook Contacts and insert the required data into them.

What I can't figure out, however, is how to have FoxPro create email distribution groups -

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbaol10/html/olmthAddMembers.asp

appears to show how to do it in VB, but I'm at a losss as to how to get this to work in VFP.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this programatically in Visual FoxPro (version 6)?

Here is a simplistic view of what is required.

o= CREATEOBJECT('outlook.application')
ns = o.GetNamespace('mapi')
dl = o.CreateItem(7) && Distribution list
dl.Display

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer in my question. It's the actual 'inserting' of email addresses into the Distribution List that I'm having the issue with.

To take the example from the MS site.

o= CREATEOBJECT('outlook.application')
myNameSpace = o.GetNamespace("MAPI")
myDistList = o.CreateItem(7)
myDistList.AddMember(myNameSpace.currentuser)
myDistList.Display
