Is a list of 5000 items a usable feature? Would a search or drill down through categories not be better solution?

it is showing the below error
"This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator."

See the responses to this TechNet post[^]. You can have more than 5000 items (but Stephen Hewison is spot on - better organisation of the data might be required). The post lists some ways of achieving that.
