Help! I can't find my Contacts
I was trying to configure my Outlook today (the mail settings) and setup new
Outlook data files. I did not realize this would make my existing Contacts list inaccessible...I did not backup the Contacts previously. I think the file is probably still on my computer but i cannot access it (hidden file). Further, the file is not broken up in contacts, calendar, etc but seems to be a general outlook file. How can i retrieve my Contacts file again? I had hundreds of entries..... thanks in advance

Just because it's hidden, doesn't mean you can't access it. Unhide the file.
It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "smiley188" wrote in message ...
