I am using Outlook 2007 and I keep getting a message that the max contacts
allowed is 1000. I am confused, what is the diff. between contacts and
address books.

Outlook does not have a maximum of 1000 contacts. Hotmail/MSN does however.
Are you using Hotmail/MSN through Outlook?

Gordon addressed the first question. You second question is that the
Outlook Address Book is just a view of those contacts folders you have for
which you've configured the "Show as address book" attribute.
 
Ok I use Outlook Connector in Outlook so I can view my MSN mail in outlook
and use that email through Outlook. Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Thanks

You can't AFAIK - the 1000 contact limit is a MSN server limit, and can't be
changed. You could use local contacts instead.....

No way to fix it. It's an MSN limit.
 
By Local contacts do you mean my contacts in Outlook? That would be fine but
how do I get Outlook to just show those contacts?

Thanks

Right-click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, click on the Outlook
Addressbook tab and check the box - "Show this folder as an Email
Addressbook" . Then you can start using that set of contacts as well as your
MSN contacts..
