Loss of my Contacts

[Don]

Appologies for having to ask what must seem a very simple (& stupid)
question, but can someone please tell me the file name and location of my
contacts?

I inadvertantly cleared the addresses in using me Scanpen (!) and now wish
to recover the appropriate file from my Norton Ghost backup.

I am using Outlook 2003

Answered daily. Contact data is not stored separately. It is stored with all
the rest of your Outlook data. The file you need is your Personal Folders
file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
