SharePoint 2007 Maximum Limitations - Harsh's Blog
Thinks
As with most good things in life there are some limitations in maximum permissible size of items in Windows SharePoint Services and related items. The table below is from Harsh’s blog (SharePoint 2007 Maximum Limitations) and does an excellent summary of items you need to be aware of when deploying, developing and supporting Windows SharePoint Services technology toolset. There are some other limitations as well, however, time for the Kindergarten field trip and I will post on the others later.
