Use this method to initialize the ListManager object.
Definition
Sub Initialize(bstrConnStr As String,)
Parameters
bstrConnStr
A String that contains the connection string for the database to which the List Manager will connect.
Error Values
This method sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to either standard or custom COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors.
The following table shows the custom COM errors that this method can return.
| Constant | Value | Description |
| E_LM_ALREADYINITIALIZED | &H8C400002 | The ListManager object has already been initialized and may not be re-initialized. |
| E_LM_CONNECTIONFAILED | &H8C400001 | Failed to establish database connection. |

Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.
Remarks
Initialize the ListManager object before calling any other ListManager object method or property.
Initializing connects the ListManager object to a database. If the database does not contain the tables and procedures required by the ListManager object, they are created.
A ListManager object can be connected to only one database. To connect to a different database, instantiate a new ListManager object.
