When you type a large number of lines of code into the Visual Basic Script
Editor in Microsoft Outlook 97, you eventually cannot type any more
characters; the Editor does not accept the keystrokes.
CAUSE
The Visual Basic Script Editor can store a maximum of 32 KB of text. Any
text beyond 32 KB will not be accepted by the editor.

Outlook 97. Microsoft provides a Visual Basic Script Editor Patch that does
not have this limitation.

obtain it, is available on the Microsoft Internet site at:

MORE INFORMATION
At an average of 25 characters per line of code, you will not reach the
32 KB limit until you enter over 1000 lines of code.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 97 for
Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Outlook 97 version 8.02
for Windows.
