Lost data base using Outlook 2003. How do I get it back?

[TOM]

How do I find lost data base in 2003, Outlook? All of a sudden, Outlook
flased, "new data base? All previous data disappeard. Where did it go?
My hard drive is 3/4 empty, therefore, there is plenty of space. Does
Outlook, 2003, have some sort of "full" & when it reaches that point it auto
delets the full, & starts a "New Datta" Base? Plese try to help me restore
the lost data.

No, Outlook doesn't do that on its own. It also never refers to it as
"database" directly. What is the exact error you get in full?
Do you have Business Contact Manager installed?
Do you use it?

To reconnect your original pst-file, use File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
