I have had contacts disappear from my desktop ocasionally for some time now. I have alwayse been suspicious but could not pin it on anything.

I rarely updat contacts on my PDA but do sync them to have them available on the ppc. I also recently upgraded from 4.2 to the beta 4.5 but I'm sure the problem was there in 4.2 as well.

Yesterday several coontacts disappeared and it was right after I synced the pda. Note that I sync only every few weeks but did so as I had just completed changed phone numbers and addresses of several contacts. I had also noticed that several contacts were missing from the PPC. (I have not deleted contacts from the PPC in over a year ... I manage that from the desk top.)

I added a fake contact to the desktop and synced again ... it disappeared!!! I swuitched from "replace item on device" to "replace item on desktop" added another contact and synced again. This time the contact appeared on both PC and PPC. Switched back to "replace item on device" repeated the test and everything worked fine????

I don't have a clue and I'm not certified as crazy yet.

Anyone else losing contacts?
