Outlook's contact's details

I have a friend that stores a lot of data in his contacts information.  Down at the bottom, where you can add a lot of free-form text...(comments?).  
He opened Outlook one day and bam!  Everything that he'd written/pasted there was gone.

Any idea where that info is stored?  And more importantly - how he can get it back?

Understandibly, I'll have to email / call him to get further info, unless I already know it - but I will keep this question running and provide as much feedback as is requested.

Thanx!

Is he on exchange?

Look for two different contact fodlers .. one in his PST and one in his mailbox.  If he has two, he may have copied items between the two and is looking at the "other" entry that has not been updated.

Sorry - forgot to mention that he's a home user - no exchange server.
I believe he's pop3/smtp - but I can confirm if need be.
Not sure if he has multiple PSTs - but I will check...

Haven't heard anything from him - and I'm not going to leave this open and make you all wait as well.
Thanx for the input.
