I thought I was deleting a History item, but deleted the Account instead
(Contact record too). I did not receive a warning, it just deleted. Nice. How
can I get this back; hopefully short of re-entering or restoring from a
backup?

In Outlook, click on Go, Folder List. Look in the nav bar on the left at
the bottom, expand Business Contact Manager, click on Deleted Items, and
drag the Account back up to the Accounts folder in BCM. That will restore
it.

Panic over!

HTH,
Lon

Thank you so much - I did the same thing - MS really shouldn't make it so
easy to accidently delete an account, I also intended to only delete some
history & whammo, the entire account is gone & my heart is racing...
