I worked on notes under a Contact for many hours. Mistaken did not Save the
new changes when closing. Lost my work and would like to know how to
retrieve the information from recycle bin, edit un-due or other means. This
must happen to others when clicking on the wrong icon. Where did this info
go? It is not in Recycle Bin. Can not find. Has to be on "C" drive
somewhere. Thanks

You didn't save it, so it's not stored anywhere to be recovered. The memory bits were reused after you no longer needed them.

Sue, I appreciate your response, but do not like the answer. I was on the
phone and simply was going to fast. Clicked the wrong icon. This is not the
first time has happened to me since 1994. I find it hard to believe that
others have not done the same thing. From a standpoint of computer
engineering I would have hoped/expected MS would have collected the ram
delete info and discarded into a recycling bin so it could have been recalled
in an emergency. Hello, Outlook does everything (nearly). Thanks, Craig

p.s. I it worth me paying the nearly $200 to upgrade to 2007 Office Std
from my Office 2002 xp? This is the kind of thing I will pay money for.
Thanks

All versions of Outlook already provide a Do You Want to Save Changes? prompt that appears if you close an item that contains unsaved data. Almost every other application that I've ever used provides a similar warning to the user when data held in memory and not yet written to the hard drive is about to be discarded. I know of none that provides a second layer on top of that -- essentially taking a No answer as a Maybe, Ask Me Again Later -- and provides the kind of safety net you're looking for.

We've all made that mistake -- clicking No to the prompt instead of Yes -- but it's our mistake, not the application's error for not reading our minds.
