Hi..

1) My ISP doesn't allow more than 50 email address, so I make each
distribution lists of 50 addresses.

In Outlook Express it shows how many email addresses in a group, but
whereas in Outlook it doesn't show. Is there a way to know how many
address in each Distribution List.

2) Can I do some VBA scripting to show each address a serial number in
the Distribution List.

I would appreciate your tips & tricks about Distribution Lists.

Thanks

I keep a count of the number of entries in the name of each
distribution list. For example, names beginning in the
letter A will have the name: 01A 47, 01B 34, 01D 12. The
"01" will keep the distribution list at the front of your
contacts.

That's a good idea...! But it won't work for me, as I need the exact
names to sort list the Distribution list very ofen.

I was wondering whether there is any way to make a simple VBA script
to show an extra field with serial numbers.
 
FWIW, I wrote an article a few years ago that shows how to track the number
of items in a DL with a custom form -- see
http://www.winntmag.com/Articles/Print.cfm?ArticleID=16368 . You cannot,
however, add an additional field to the display to show a separate serial
humber.
