Missing Category Lists

I'm using Outlook 2007. I have my contacts divided into four
categories. I am suddenly unable to view two of the categories or
any of the contactss. Example: I have John Doe categorized into
"Businessl" and "Holiday Cards". If I set my "Current View" to view
"By Category", I do not see the Business or Holiiday Card Categories.

Likewise if I set the current view to "Address Cards", John Doe does
not show.

But if I search for John Doe and tell Outlook to search in "all
contact items", John Doe's record shows up and shows that it is
categorized into "Business" and "Holiday Cards".

I suspect I inadvertantly moved these two folders somewhere other than
under my personal folders.

How can I find the missing categories?

Pretty confusing post. Creating Categories does not create separate folders.
So why do you say, "I suspect I inadvertently moved these two folders
somewhere other than
under my personal folders"? Tell us the rest of your story.
If you think you have folders you are not seeing, just use Folder List view
to display your entire folder hierarchy so you can see what's there and
what's not.

OOPS! I found the error. Looks like I deleted all the entries
categorized as Holiday Cards. When I search "In all contact items" I
find the deleted contacts. Is there a way to restore the
inadvertantly deleted items?
