Returns or sets a String representing the display name of a distribution list. Read/write.

expression**.DLName**

*expression   * Required. An expression that returns a DistListItem object.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new distribution list and then prompts the user for a name.

Sub CreateDL()
    Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim myDistList As Outlook.DistListItem
    Set myDistList = myOlApp.CreateItem(olDistributionListItem)
    myDistList.DLName = InputBox("Type the name of the new distribution list.")
    myDistList.Save
    myDistList.Display
End Sub

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Set myDistList = Application.CreateItem(7)
myDistList.DLName = _
    InputBox("Type the name of the new distribution list.")
myDistList.Save
myDistList.Display
