I have a need to store 10,000 contact names and info. and then export to MS
Access. I currently have 4700 names in my Outlook Contacts but was cautioned
about getting too large. Is there a limit I should not exceed?

What version of Outlook? If you have enabled large table support, Outlook
will handle ~65,000 items per folder.
