No way to know. Outlook does not do this all by itself. You would need to
provide the steps you used to create the problem. You should also post in a
BCM group. Using BCM changes everything.
Do you backup your data?

I'm using Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager on a Windows XP Home
Edition machine. I started to look up a contact in my personal contacts
that
I know for a fact had been listed there and realized the contact was no
longer in the list. I scrolled through my list of contacts and saw that
many
other contacts are also missing. I did a search for the missing contact in
the search box and it didn't find the missing contact. Then I chose the
option to search "all contact items" and it still didn't find my missing
contact with the view set to phone list. For some reason I clicked the
business card view radial button the missing contact appears in that view.
Any idea what's going on here? I'm fairly new to Outlook 2007 so I may
have
clicked something I shouldn't have but what it is I don't know and I don't
know how to undo whatever I may have done. Thanks for any help!
