MOSS Workflow - Create a list when an item is created in another list

I'm trying to create a workflow in sharepoint designer, it triggers
when an item is created in a list.

When an item is created I want to create a complete new list on the
same site, I can't see how to create a new list from a sharepoint
workflow.

Does any1 know if it's possible or how to do it?

Thanks.

I have not done it, but there is a "Create List Item workflow action
in sharepoint designer. It seems fairly straight-forward.

But are you talking about creating an entirely new list, not just an
item? If that's what you mean, then I think you have to create a
custom action. If you want to go that route, my codeplex project may
be a useful start: http://www.codeplex.com/spdwfextensions

thanks for the reply, yea it's a complete new list so the create new
item won't do cos it just adds to an exsisting list, I'll check out
that project you linked to, thanks again.
