Hi,
Here is the problem:
I use outlook express my wife uses outlook 2000 on a separate computer.
I tried to combine the 2 computers into one. I copied my contacts from OE,
went to the other computer and imported them in OE. Everything looked fine.
When I went to Outlook, all the contacts were the ones in OE. I don't know
what happened to her contacts. Is there any way to find and recover them?
Do I need specific data recovery software? Is there any available on line?

Please help... she is gonna kill me...... then divorce me!!!!
 
Usually if Outlook and Outlook Express are set to share contacts, it's
Outlook's contacts that are shared, not Outlook Express contacts. However,
you can go into Outlook Express, open the Address Book, click Tools |
Options, and make sure the two programs are set to NOT share contacts, and
see if that helps. If her contacts are still missing, check for all .PST
files on her computer (they're hidden files in Windows 2000 or XP, so make
sure you include hidden and system folders in your search if you use one of
those Windows versions). All Outlook contact data is stored in a .PST file.
