such a task.

I currently have 3008 contacts in Outlook 2003. Oops! I had 3008 in Outlook
2003 until last week when I installed Office Premium 2007
 
Are you using this with an Outlook Live account? If so, no, the limit is
currently 1000 for the live account.
 
I get an error code that states my outlook contact has 1000 contacts and I
cannot add more until I delete some of them.

Outlook 2003 can hold 64,000 or more contacts, normally in one folder.
Since you say you can't my crystal ball says you're using Outlook Live with
the Outlook Connector and Hotmail, in which case the 1,000 contact limit is
Hotmail's issue, not Outlook's.

You can certainly get around it, though, by creating a new PST and a contact
folder in that PST, keeping all your contacts there. Perhaps not ideal for
you, but it's fairly certain Hotmail won't change any time soon.

Hello

I just upgraded from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007. I imported all my work contacts via my blackberry to outlook before upgrading. Now I am getting an error when I am trying to add more contacts. The error is saying that I can not add any more contacts I need to del. some. I do not want to del. any one of my contacts.

I have read a few different posting and some tell me that I need to download some program and run it to fix outlook PST file; while other sits tells me that I need to create a new PST file in a ?new? folder. I am confused :( what should I be doing ? And if I have to create a PST file in a new folder how do I do that..?

Also I read the posting above and yes I am using windows live.com email account via outlook 2007. Is this the problem ? and not outlook ?

Help

This is not a chat room - wait for replies.

Are you using Hotmail? Hotmail has a limit of 1000 contacts AFAIK...
 
You can't import from a PDA. You can only synchronize, which is not a
reliable or recommended way to create Contacts.
You should create your Contacts from the last good backup of your Outlook
data file.
