Brian,
Sorry for the name mix up.
"an unexpected error has occurred" this is the text within a box that says
Microsoft Office Outlook
Thanks again for the help.
Robert

I thought it was 256KB but that would be a lot more than 100 addresses. It
might be 1024 characters. I've never had to use a DL larger than 10 or 20
names so I've never hit the limit.

Regardless, no, it can't be changed.

It is a Comcast.net email account I can't remember which is which. I have
an
MSN account also, but I've tried both, however this latest error message
was
on the Comcast.net account.


Can you post the exact text of the message?

So you're saying there is a email limit to OUTLOOK? If so, how do you
increase it?


The character limit is quite large, I'm sure, but however large it may be,
it can't be changed, to the best of my knowledge.

And that's it? What appears in the Event log?

Is there any way to display the total number of contacts in a distribution
list? In Outlook Express, the number automatically appears but I can't find a
way to do it in Outlook.

1) About 120 in an Exchange mailbox or public folder.

2) No.

1st question: how many contacts will each Distribution list hold.
2nd question: if the distribution list is full, and the list is
alphabetical, can a new contact be added alphabetically? If so, is the last
name on the list moved off the Distribution list to a new Distribution list
that is automatically set up by Outlook?
