Is there a Max number of records that can be input in "Contacts" list? I'm inputting my bosses contacts list and am up to 274 names. It seems to have stopped allowing me to add any more. Each time I try and click Save and File, the new contact doesn't show up anywhere. No error comes up or anything. I'm lost of where they went or what to do to try and fix it. I'm a secretary and not a certified Tech person.

We use a contacts folder for mailings, and I have one with over 3,500 names. Whatever the problem is, that is not it.

It sounds like you are filtering your view of the folder (telling Outlook you only want to see records that match some criteria). Check that you do not have filtering turned on in your current view of the folder. Click View/Current view/Customize Current View and check that Filter is turned off. Also try changing the current view to a different view.

Good luck.

Thanks for the response. But,
ALL Filters of off. I've tried viewing in all views available as well, but nothing changed. Still can't add more names or see if they're hidden somewhere. If they're saved, they're floating in never-never land somewhere. I can't find them. I was wondering about the "folder size" for Contacts. It's set at 142k. Does this need to be larger? If so, how do I change it?

The folder size is how much space you are using at the moment. Does your mail admin have a limit on your maximum mailbox size? If so, the contacts plus all the mail folders may be bumping up against that number.

You may have to ask your boss to have a word with your systems administrator or whoever controls the Exchange server.

Good luck.

Already figured this was maybe the problem. So, I had sent in a request to our administrator already. They've not responded yet, but waiting to see if this helps. Thanks for the suggestions though.
