Macro from Excel to New Outlook Distribution List
I need a macro that will 1) create a new outlook folder, then 2) create new Outlook distribution lists from data in an Excel sheet.

The Excel sheet has columns:
A - ID
B - DEPARTMENT_DESC
C - STUDENT_LEVEL_DESC
D - MAJOR_DESC
E - PROGRAM_DESC
F - EMAIL_ADDRESS
G - LAST_NAME
H - FIRST_NAME

The first entry begins in row 2 with row 1 being the column title.

I need a new distribution list to be created for each department (column B) and each student level (column C). (Column B will only ever be one of 6 values, column C will only ever be one of 2 values. Therefore, the macro should create 8 distribution lists.)

I have looked at threads similar to this question but I can't seem to get anything working.

I saw something you might could work with here: http://www.helenfeddema.com/CodeSamples.htm
scroll down for sample 61. I haven't used it but marked it one day. I'm assuming your wanting to make local distb list? Not in AD.
