SendObject via Distribution List

[esskaykay]

I have a form with a command button that runs a SendObject macro which automatically sends a report via email to select recipients via an Outlook Distribution List. It works great on Win2K but bombs on WinXP with an Action Failed box. The only option is Halt - pressing halt, returns “Unknown message recipients; the message was not sent”. If I hard code in each separate email address in the To: control of the macro, it works fine. However, the recipients change periodically. I don’t want the users to dabble in the macro code. I’d rather they only deal with the Distribution List.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
SKK

Are you using the full smtp address for the distribution list within your macro?

Yup, I belive I found my problem. Some of us are still using Personal Address book rather than Contacts. When I placed the Distribution List in Contacts, it worked fine. Why it worked in Win2K - who knows.

Thanks for your time,
