Access/Excel/Outlook
I was asked to pull data from an access 2007 database and import the contact info into outlook as a distribution list. I've created a CSV file to do the import but how do i get it into outlook?
In any event, you can surely import a list of "Contacts" as a CSV file, but not a "Distribution List" specifically...

Create Distribution List from an Excel Worksheet
This sample includes an Excel worksheet with a list of names and email addresses, and a saved VBA module containing a procedure that creates an Outlook Distribution List from data in the worksheet. Works in Office 2003, and probably in 2000, 2002 and 2007 as well.

These must be created IN Outlook.
You can however, just import the "Contacts" (obviously containing the email addresses) into Outlook.
Then you will have to create the Distribution list in Outlook normally.
But lets see what another Expert posts...
