Hi, got a problem with Outlook 2000 address book. It doesn't add new contact
any more. Contacts folder reads the size 8492k. Attempt to add gives the
result :" The messaging interface has returned an uknown error. If the
problem persists, restart Outlook". But restarting doesn't help. Is there any
limited size for address book in Outlook 2000 and how it can be eliminated?

Thanks in advance.
Alex

There's a limit of 16384 or 65536 items in a folder if you're using a PST
(Personal Folder) file to hold your Contacts folder
