How to access contact groups in Excel VBA?

Question

I am building an Excel add-in that sends the active workbook as an attachment in an Outlook email template to a specific Contact Group.

I've gotten the first two parts to work with the code below, but I am not sure how to set the .TO field to a contact group.

Public Sub Mail_Reports()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object 

    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With

    On Error Resume Next

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

    'Set this line to the path and file name of your template
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\moses\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\test.oft")
    On Error Resume Next

    With OutMail
        '.TO field should be set to the contact group
        .BCC = ""
        .Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
        .HTMLBody = Replace(OutMail.HTMLBody, strOldPeriod, strNewPeriod)
        .Subject = Replace(OutMail.Subject, strOldPeriod, strNewPeriod)
        'To display the email leave as is;  to send the Email, change to .Send
        .Display    'or Send
    End With

    On Error GoTo 0

    With Application
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Just use the name of the contact group (formerly called "distribution lists"). I just tried it, as suggested on Ron de Bruin's site, and it works.
