Default Hidden Contacts

I realized recently that some of my contacts are missing. I have tried all
types of views with the same results. I can do a search and find them. I did
delete one of such contacts and reneneted it and now it shows in the list.

The synced list in my iphone is correct - all contacts properly shown

Default Hidden Contacts

Sorry did not send all info you requested. I thought I was clear. I am using
outlook (2007) and some of the contacts do not show on the contact list in
outlook using any of the viewing formats available. The total number of
contacts shown on the list is 79. However I have my iphone linked with
Outlook and the the list in the phone shows 99 contacts. I have done a search
in outlook for a few of the contacts with success. They contimue to be hidden
in the outlook list until I do a search, delete the contact and re-enter them
as a new contact.

Please be more specific as to what you mean by "data store".

We have no idea what you mean by "contact list." There is no such term used
in conjunction with Outlook. Do you mean your Contacts Folder? If so, which
view? Do you mean your address book view? Do you mean something else?

Default Hidden Contacts

I too am having a similar problem: In Outlook 2003 there are several Outlook
Address Books with contacts in each book. Many of the address books have lost
contacts - completely gone. I can not see them in either the Folder List or
the Contact Folder views. They were not deleted nor archived. They are just
gone. I have seen other posts with this same problem, but not found any
answers given. Please help. And Russ, please don't slap me around for not
know the precise Outlook terms - you are supposed to help us not make us feel
stupid. thanks

Again we don't know what you mean by "address books" - the only "Address
Book" Outlook uses is a special view of the Contacts folder used for
inserting email addresses into a new email...

It's OK if you don't know the proper terms. But if you use your own terms,
at least explain what you mean by them so we can figure out what your
question is.
In your case we would need to know in what view you are seeing "several
Outlook Address Books" and what you mean by that.
The problem that most people face in this regard is in the address book view
of Outlook, which may contain several outdated references to Contacts Folder
that are no longer valid. Is that what your problem is?
If so, you would remove invalid references to Contacts Folders from the
address book view he Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing
directories or address books Outlook Address Book Changeā€¦
If your problem is something else, then state more clearly what it is. Keep
in mind that there is no separate address book in Outlook, only an address
book view of your Contacts Folders.

i am confused - it clearly states in the properties of this "address list or
whatever you call it" - there is a tab for Outlook Address Book and the check
box says treat this folder as an OUtlook Address Book - how can you not know
this term? i can't describe it any better than that
