Is Outlook 2003 losing some of my Contacts?
In Outlook 2003, at the very lower left hand corner of
the Contacts screen, I see "2778 Items," which I assume means that I have 2778 Contacts. I have noticed that although on an average day I add about five contacts, and rarely delete any, that number is DECREASING over time when it should be INCREASING. For instance, yesterday, it showed "2790 Items". Since yesterday, I have added about twenty Contacts, but now it reads "2778 items." When I look at the list of Contacts, and sort by "Modifed" or "Created" everything appears OK. I don't appear to missing a single days worth of entries, for instance. I am concerned, of course, that Outlook is losing some entries, and that I am not noticing them because of what seems to me at least to be a reasonably high number of Contacts, approaching 3000. Am I misinterpreting "2778 items"? Please advise. |

Also, make certain that your 'View' is set to view all of your contacts and that you don't have any specific criteria listed for your 'View' option. Go to View/Arrange by/Current View/Customize and click on 'Filter' and 'clear all'/okay and see if it helps.
