I have Outlook 2003. I noticed that I lost about five sets of Contacts
categories - all my business names, addresses, emails etc. and I don't know
how to get them back. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jerry

Hard to say since we weren't there. You must have some notion of what you
did.
If you deleted them they would be in your Deleted Items Folder.
If you changed the view, you may have hidden them.
Do some research.

Are you missing 1/2 of your contacts (i.e. had 500, now have 250) or half of
the information on the contacts (i.e. still have 500)?

What view are you using? Did you try resetting the view?
Are you syncing with a handheld device? If so, do you have a backup of your
mailbox?
