error opening distribution list
I created a distribution list but now I get the error :
Can't open this item. There is not enough memory available on the Microsoft Exchange Server computer to perform the operation. Contact your system administrator.
There are +- 140 contacts in the list.
Is there a limit on the list ? Is there another way to retrieve the list as I don't want to redo everything ? I also have full access on the exchange server.

Hello dekempeneer!

How to create a new .OST or .DBX file:
Note: Sometime the .OST will fail to synchronize with the Exchange Server correctly and it becomes necessary to recreate the file.
Outlook Uses .OST and Outlook Express Uses .DBX
Outlook:
To create a new .OST file, rename the .OST file to .OLD, and then synchronize the new .OST file with the computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server. When you rename the OST file, Outlook creates a new file. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Quit all programs.
2. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
3. On the Name & Location tab, type *.OST in the Named box.
4. Do not type anything in the Containing text box. Click your hard disk in the Look in list, click to select the Include subfolders check box, and then click Find Now.
5. In the Name column, you see your .OST file. The default location for the .OST file is as follows.
For Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98:
C:\Windows\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook For Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows NT: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
6. Right-click the .OST file, and then click Rename. Rename the file with a different file name extension, such as an .OLD file name extension instead of the .OST file name extension.
7. On the File menu, click Close.
8. Start Outlook, point to Synchronize on the Tools menu, and then click All Folders.
Outlook Express:
If this is Outlook express the follow the sames steps as above but search for and rename your .DBX
