Number of members in a distribution list in Outlook?

[theia]

How can you find out how many members are in a distribution list? I often
have to create large dist lists (>50 members) and the only way I can be sure
that I have captured all of them is to manually count the members in the list.

Thank you very much! This does the trick. I still think MS could simply add
something that will allow someone to see information like this for a dist
list without having to program like this. In any case, this will help me.
Thanks again!

It would also be fairly easy to save the DL as a text file and them open it
in Excel to see how many rows you have. No extra programming needed
(although, I admit the code is a bit more convenient).
