Hello, When i try to import some account contacts via the import wizard the
data all imports OK except for 1 problem. The account name which is a company
name gets reversed as though it was a name. So for example if i imported
Microsoft Corporation it is imported as Corporation Microsoft as if i had
imports a persons name.

How do i resolve this becuse i have too many to change manually.

I don't think the issue is specific to import, but behaves the same
way if you type in an address. Outlook/BCM have separate Name and
FileAs fields, and what you type into name, gets reversed in FileAs.
FileAs is then used as the default sort order in various fields.

That's the way Outlook works. BCM doesn't have a separate address
parser.

I thought Outlook 2007 had made this feature optional or BCM 2007 has
overridden that behavior, but I haven't investigated.
