Contact Limits
Are there any limitations on using contacts in a public folder. The folder
will be used by 10 members of staff and could potentially hold 14,000 contacts. The information is to be used for mail merge purposes. To organise the contacts they will be assigned a category and the category view will be applied. Any advice on this would be welcome.

Contact Limits
I do not believe there is a limits except for the storage capacity of the
server itself and any bandwidth issues. I worked in a location that had over 25 people accessing about Contact Public folders with close to 40,000 entries. Now this may have been setup between 2 servers or something but I am not positive on that. -- Francine Otterson President, San Diego Outlook User Group MVP - Microsoft Outlook "Fi" wrote in message ...

Contact Limits
Memory and page file size can also make a difference in how many contacts a public folder can support without bogging down.

Sue - have you experienced larger contacts folder working on the same
exchange server which hosts the company mailboxes. Would you recommend another server to host this amount of contacts?

Contact Limits
That's a question better asked in an Exchange admin group. I don't even pretend to be an Exchange admin.
