lost contacts!!!

[pigpen]

tried searching, but couldn't find anything useful. (maybe wrong search terms) somehow most of my contacts in outlook disappeared, then activesync removed those missing ones from my q. any way to restore them? all i could find in outlook's help was if i have an exchange server, but i don't.

Sorry, you are up a creek......buy sprite backup to restore your device when these things happen.

Doesn't Outlook archive the old info?

Couldn't find anything archived. Lost about 2/3 of contacts. Don't think anything lost was irreplaceable. Thanx for the help. Posted from my Q.

Outlook archives info if you tell it to. But that is usually every month by default.

If your lucky you backed up Outlook contacts on ur PC or your no good on this..

Go to your Outlook on your PC and go to backup and search your folder where it is specified to backup to and see if there are ANY backup files there for contacts..good luck
