I am discovering that several contact records are gone when I do a specific search, but they do not show up as a deleted contact on My Record. I don't know what other ones are missing until I do a search and the record does not appear. I am running Act Pro 16. I have over 14,000 records. I recently installed Handheld Contact a few weeks ago, but don't delete contacts on the phone. I don't know if that sync would have anything to do with it? They say no. Ideas on how to find the records or which ones were deleted so I can try and recreate them?
You could do a "Restore As" from a backup you did before the contacts disappeared.and name the restored database as anything but the name of your working database.
You can then check for the contacts you think have disappeared and copy them over.

I did that. I have a rolling 5 day back up to an Iomega, but unfortunately the contacts were gone prior to oldest backup. I realize you can't get back deleted contacts unless you restore, but the problem is I don't even know what's gone until i do a search and it doesn't come up. I'm really just trying to find out which records are gone. Have you encountered records deleting without a matching history record of the deletion?
