Aug 28, 2007 6:02PM PDT

Dear Tom,
To eaier helping, I told you what is happened:
This is mistake action when I want to synch form PDA to PC, I delete all contacts and connect PDA to PC to update PC follow PC, cause by wrong setting in synch function, the empty data in PC synch with PDA and erase all contacts.
So I could not find the data of contacts any where.
Whether have the way to recover it?
Thank for your understanding.

I'm afraid the only way is make a new personal folder file, then copy the old one with that contact from your backup over that new file and see if it's accessible or even can be copied.
If you've got no backup of your .pst file, it seems gone forever.
