Outlook 2003 Contacts Issue

dakranii · 02-02-2009, 12:31 PM

Hello,

In Outlook 2003 when on the contacts page, there's a spot on the left menu pane that says My Contacts. There's supposed to be a contacts link under that. I accidentally deleted it. I'm sure it's easy to get back but I just don't know where to go.

As a result, when I click on the contacts button, I can't see my contacts. I can right click and open them in a new window, but it would be easier to be back where I was.

Right above where the arrow is pointing in this image. The contacts "button" above temp.

Thank you.

did you check if there is a folder called contacts in your outlook deleted items. it it is there then restore it.

Azmak, good idea. I didn't think of that. Unfortunately my trash folder is set to empty each time I shut down Outlook, so it's already gone, but I'll keep that in mind for the future.

I actually figured it out when I was checking your idea. I right-clicked "contacts" in the same spot while viewing my inbox and it gave me the option to add to "My Contacts" and that did the trick.

Thank you for your help.
