Is there a limit in Outlook 2000 for contact names that
can be set up?

Since a PST file can be up to 1.8 Gb, you can create as many contacts as
will fill up the space you have in your PST to that limit.

Yes, but you also need to reduce the size of your PST if it approaches
that size, because it may become unusable. Archive is your friend.

Mine was over 1 GB before I put it on a diet last year. First I made
a search and found all messages with attachments greater than 1 MB.
In almost every case, I already had the attachment somewhere, and
could find it easily, so I just deleted the attachments and kept the
emails. Did that every few months. Then, when I had to reinstall
Windows, I did some more "pruning" of messages by sizes, and
compacted, until the result was about half a GB. THEN I archived
everything from 2001 and 2002.

My point is that you need to be careful and not let it approach the
absolute limit of 2 GB. If nothing else, it's hard to backup, won't
fit on a CD-ROM.

However, there is a limit to the number of items you can put in one
particular folder... ~16,000 items and/or subfolders per folder by default
for a .PST created in Outlook 2000, or ~65,000 items and/or subfolders per
folder if large table support has been enabled on that .PST.
