Is there a limit to the number of contacts (physical records) that you can
store in a Contact list (folder) in Outlook 2003? I'm aware of file size limits, so to be clear, if each contact form is a record, is there a limit to how many records one can store in a contact list? Thanks! |

Depends on which PST file type you are actually using in Outlook 2003.
Outlook 97/2002 PST size limit is 2 GB. In terms of Item number limits: 16,000 items per folder when large table support is turned off (default for Outlook 97/2000) 65,000 items per folder when large table support is turned on (default for Outlook 2002) 16,000 folders per folder when large table support is turned off (default for Outlook 97/2000) 65,000 folders per folder when large table support is turned on (default for Outlook 2002) Outlook 2003 (Unicode) PST size limit is unknown, but practical limitations are said to be around 20GB. In terms of Item number limits that is also unknown, but rumor has it at 130 million. My guess is that you will hit performance limitations before finding the upper limit on items. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "suejay" wrote in message news ![]() Is there a limit to the number of contacts (physical records) that you can store in a Contact list (folder) in Outlook 2003?

there a user setting for large table support? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Depends on which PST file type you are actually using in Outlook 2003. Outlook 97/2002 PST size limit is 2 GB.

Only for versions older than Outlook 2003.

Russ,
I have 1300 Contacts in Outlook 03 and it seems full based on the scroll bar on the bottom being very small. I have at least 1500 new Contacts that I need to add to that includes mailing address, phone number, and email addresses. You say that Outlook 03 can store 130 million contacts, how is that possible if I seem to be at my limit with 1300? What can I do to continue growing my database or is there a better program to use?

What is the evidence that your Contacts Folder is full? You provided none.
