Help, lost all contacts!

Hello,

I have a big problem (again) with ActiveSync, Outlook 2002 and Windows
Mobile 6 on my HTC TyTN. Last Friday the TyTN didnt started anymore and
I did a hard-reset, after it I synced it and all was fine, my contacts
appear on the phone and on the computer, but I dont know what happend
but since yesterday I have no contacts on the phone and on the computer..!

Is there a backup-copy of the contacts in any file in WindowsMobile or
WinXP/Outlook 2002?

kind regards,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

You can check in the "Deleted items" folder of Outlook. If they are there,
move them back to the "Contacts folder. Recommend you to take backups to
avoid such a situation in future again. Some applications which backup data
on the device:

* PIM Backup (freeware) -

* SPB Backup - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/

* Sprite Backup - http://www.spritesoftware.com/backup.php

Microsoft makes a backup for the Outlook.pst file that I use all the time.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

It is called PFBACKUP.EXE

Unfortunately I think that unless your contacts are in the deleted folder,
you lost this time. The back up of the pst file is a must. I keep a copy on
a flash drive just in case. In the event the scenerio repeats itself, you
coulod also delete the partnership and then establish the partnership again
and you will then get the choice for outlook to overwrite your phone/pda.

Best wishes
