Where did my Contact Groups go?
That's because, like everyone else in this thread, you have left out too
much information to figure out your specific problem. The answer to this question requires that we know from what version of Outlook you migrated and how you migrated your data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rebecca" wrote in message ... I am confused by the answers here. One says that all is lost, the other says there is a simple solution. I downloaded the trial 2007 (I had XP service pack 2) and now my very important distribution list is gone. I am not so computer literate, so is there a step-by-step way to find my list?

Where did my Contact Groups go?
That's because, as I stated, I am not so computer literate. Tell me where to
find what version of Outlook I had, please. I had XP service pack 2 and bought the computer and the software in 2003. I was using the Beta 2000 with no problem. I intended to buy 2007 and Vista software, but downloaded the trial to see what differences there were. Now not only did my distribution list disappear, but I am having problems with my scanner and printers. I wasn't having problems with the Beta version. I don't know what to do and I can't even keep up with the location of this thread.

What is "Beta 2000?" There is no way to tell what you have done, but there
is every chance your Outlook data file is perfectly intact. Just search for every PST file on your hard drive and open each in Outlook until you find the one that contains your data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rebecca" wrote in message ...

Where did my Contact Groups go?
I found two files. One said last changed date was in June 2006 the other
said yesterday. When I opened the one that said yestserday there was a page with what looked like column headings for "Calendar," "Tasks," and "Messages." But the rest of the page was blank. When I opened the other (which was too old to have all of the distribution list) I got an error. When I went back to see what the error was so I could put it here, it opened the same as the other one with the column headings.

Where did my Contact Groups go?
Thank you for trying to help me. I guess they did disappear when I
downloaded the 2007 trial software. They never disappeared before, so I didn't think to back it up. I didn't think of a distribution file as being data. I back up my business files, but never had a problem with my contact lists. Rebecca "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: I don't see how I can find your data files for you.

One thing is su changing or upgrading versions always leaves data intact.
It might start another data file, but it always leaves other data intact. It is a mystery why a thorough search wouldn't turn up your data file. Migrating data incorrectly (like by importing it instead of copying it) will lose a lot of data, DL's included. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rebecca" wrote in message news Thank you for trying to help me.
