Default Lost Contacts During Upgrade

I just upgraded to Office 2007 and none of my contacts were imported into
Outlook. Is there any way to recover them?

How did you do the "upgrade" and from what version?

Default Lost Contacts During Upgrade

The easiest fix to this is to open the File menu (top left) go to Export
Import, then select Import Email and Addresses - worked great for me - I have
seen this issue posted elsewhere but no-one else has suggested what I have
done - hope it works for you.

Look in your Contacts folder. If you performed the upgrade properly and you
have your mail, calendar, and so on, you also have your Contacts because
they;'re all stored in the same file.

The reason no one suggested it is because it is dead wrong. That option
simply imports data from Outlook Express, which has nothing whatsoever to do
with this post. But thanks for playing.
