Is there a limit of characters in an Outlook task notes field.

[Guest]

I use outlook 2003 tasks to manage troubletickets. I use the "task notes
field" to put in all my activities. Is there an upper limit of how much data
I can put in an outlook task notes field? Let me know at (e-mail address removed).

AFAIK, there is about a 1000 word limit to the notes field.

I don't thing so... I have a task that has over 13,500 words in the notes
field. Please don't get this confused with an outlook note. I am loooking for
the limit of characters or words in a outlook "Task" notes field. I am
thinking that is only limited to the hard drive space... It should be able to
handle 50mb of text for that matter... I just need clarification.

That's my understanding, that there isn't a hard and fast limit on item bodies.
