have you ever sync'd it with anything like your phone, Yahoo, PDA, etc???  Pull it from there but becareful not to sync or it will just delete it from you other location too.

Sorry but I think you're screwed.  Since OL keeps everything in one file, file recovery programs wouldn't help here.  Have you ever made backups?  find your old pst file and re-import your contacts.
