I am using OUTLOOK 2003 on WINDOWS XP.
I had a CONTACT open, and used the keyboard SAVE command of CTL+S. Instead, I believe I accidentally hit CTL+D (delete) because the CONTACT disappeared from my screen, and when I looked in my CONTACT list, it was not there. I went to the DELETED ITEMS folder, and it was not there either. I also checked the RECYCLE BIN with no luck. I am not using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account, so I do not have access to the Recover Deleted Items tool for permanently deleted items. I set up a test CONTACT file. Used CTL+S. And found it in the DELETED ITEMS file. I don't know why the other one did not do the same. And I am only presuming that I had hit the CTL+D on the first one that disappeared since the D is right next to the S on the keyboard. But I guess I could have hit CTL+ANOTHER KEY. Any help on where this CONTACT file is and how to recover it? I have some very important information on it. Thanks. |

If it is not in your Deleted Items Folder it is gone. Outlook provides no
other diapers for you. Your panic seems odd. How hard is it to recreate one Contact? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Seahawk" wrote in message ... I am using OUTLOOK 2003 on WINDOWS XP.

No panic. Just that there is info in that CONTACT that I can't replace.
With all the deletion safeguards in MS OUTLOOK, it is difficult to accept that it was permanently deleted from a CTL+D command. I am looking for an answer as to where it can be.

It wasn't. There was end user error involved as well.

What about a backup. Your administrator of the exchange server surely makes
backups. -- Neil "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... It wasn't. There was end user error involved as well. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Seahawk" wrote in message ... No panic.
