Outlook 2003 lost contact list

[Sylvia]

I downloaded an upgrade to microsoft today....not certain to which upgrades
since it is done automatically. After that I no longer have anything in my
outlook contact list. Is there a way I can get this listing back.

Not without some information. You posted none. Just the basics would be
nice--like Outlook version, what you mean by "contact list" (that term is
your own and has no meaning to us) and what isn't happening that you think
should.

The contact folder in outlook is empty and I have had names and numbers in
there for several years. There is data there that can not be replaced

Outlook has mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes and it is the contacts
that is suddenly empty

In that case you DO have a recent backup, ........don't you?

Then there is more to this story than you've told. Search your hard drive
for Outlook data files (*.pst) and open each until you find the one that has
your Contacts.
