With about 1000 addresses in my Outlook address book,
it's starting to act sluggishly. Does anyone know how
many addresses Outlook can handle?

Actually, just for terminology consistency - Outlook Address Book is just a
view - it doesn't hold anything in it. It can look at your contacts folder,
a global address list, etc. There shouldn't be a problem having 1000 items
in your contacts folder, per se. When are you seeing this 'sluggish'
behavior? Are you using Exchange? If you're using a PST file, where is it
located?

Thanks for your speedy reply. I'm afraid I can't answer
your questions though - it's a problem they are
experiencing in a new job I'm about to take over and I
was just trying to be efficient by turning up with a
solution! They said they needed to find new address book
software as Outlook was running badly, and I thought 1000
addresses should not really be a problem. I think I'll
come back to the newsgroup when I know all the details!
Thanks anyway.

OK - go check it out and report back.

The per folder limit (contacts as well as other folders in pre-unicode
Outlook) is 64,000 items. I seriously doubt that the size of the contacts
folders is the problem
If they have Instant Messenger integration turned on, turn it off under
Tools->Options->Other.
