I just gave you all the steps I took when I found I had the problem. I
didn't take ANY steps that I know of to CREATE the problem. Some of the
contacts just aren't showing up. I don't think Business Contact Manager had
anything to do with it. I installed BCM a couple of months ago and didn't
like it so stopped using it. I did search for my missing contacts in BCM
just in case they somehow ended up there but they weren't showing up there
either. I do back up outlook frequently and it backs up automatically when I
exit outlook. I also sync a Pocket PC with outlook and the Pocket PC has the
missing contacts on it's contact list.

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!
