I'm running Outlook 2003 SP! on an XP pro. It's a stand-alone install
(no exhange)

I have entered new contacts, but they disappearerd. I can't say when,
but two contacts I added yesterday are no longer in my contacts
folder.

Whered did they go?

There have been nor reports of Contacts simply vanishing for no reason.
There is more to this story.
You'll have to do some troubleshooting. Did you perhaps create these
Contacts in a different folder or a different profile than the one you are
looking in now? How did you create these Contacts?
 
I created a contact using the "new Contact" icon. I also created an
additional with "New Contact from same company" Both we gone when I
looked for them this morning.

The main (first contact I have entered before, and his listing has
disappeared before. However yesterday I re-entered it and a
co-worker. They were gone this morning.
I also created a few other contacts, from a different company
yesterday, using both methods and they are still there, fine and
usable.

I've been using Outlook for ten years and have about 1000 contacts,
but this is bizarre.

Could I have set a sync by accident someplace that's deleting the
entry?

No end to the possibilities. But since you were there and we weren't, it's
impossible to say from a distance.
All I can tell you is that Outlook does not lose information randomly. This
is an end user issue.
