Default HELP ME FIND MISSING CONTACT - Outlook 2003

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?

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.
