Create a Distribution List using VBScript on a Web Page

[David H]

Is it possible to create a Distribution List via VBScript sitting on a web
page? We're about to implement an online staff directory which will allow
users to create their own custom directories - the ability to create a
distribution list from a user defined directory being the next logical step.

How is this an Outlook question?

I've done some office automation using VBScript. Since VBScript can be
executed on the Load Event of the Page, the theory is that you could
conceivably provide a link on the ASP.NET page that opens a new page that
retrieves all of the contact information for the DL from the underlying
database, loads the page and then creates the Distribution List by looping
through relevant elements on the page via the DOM - assuming that a DL can be
created via VBScript to begin with, which I suspect it can be.

and to answer the question specifically, it is an Outlook question becuase it
deals with programically creating a Distribution List.
