Default Any limit to # of contacts that can be entered in Outlook 2003?

Hi---does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of contacts that may
be entered into Outlooke 2003? Also, is there a limit to the number of
Contacts that may be added to a distribution list? Thanks!

are you using a Unicode pst? if not, approx 65000, otherwise unlimited. DL
size depends on your account type and provider - if they only allow you to
send to 20 at a time, it's pointless to make a dl that is larger.

Thanks Diane. How do I know if I am using Unicode pst? Also, are you saying
that I can check with my ISP to identify the limits on their DLs, and
possibly upgrade to a different type of account that might allow for a larger
limit? Any recommendations on broadcasting to a larger list? Thanks!! Suzanne
