MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006contacts missing
My contacts seem to be dropping peoples names and address', names I know were in there are no longer there. Its like they were deleted but we did not delete them. We've had no reports of Outlook's randomly losing data for no reason. There must be more to your story.

Most are family and friends that are missing, so there would be no reason to delete them. I did take and pass all the mous courses and am not a novice. This is wierd.

Outlook simply does not lose data at random. I strongly suspect a synchronization issue. I'm sure you keep backups of your data, right?

I have entered the same contact several times over. I have about 1200 contacts recorded, and I use a PDA. > We've had no reports of Outlook's randomly losing data for no reason. > There must be more to your story. > > My contacts seem to be dropping peoples names and address', names I know > > were > > in there are no longer there.
