I have discovered that some of my contacts in the "Full Name" box appear last
name first although they were entered correctrly in the "check full name"
subdialog box while most of the others in my contacts list first name first
in "Full Name" as entered in the "check full name" subdialog box. In the
file as box I've selected show as last name first. What would be causing
this to happen? This is Outlook 2003 SP1

What "file box?"
Your post is unclear.

Sorry for the late reply and the confusion. I was referring to the "Check
Full Name" dialog box. However, I did find something in another post which
triggered my memory about "Contact Options." So I went there and found that
the "Full Name" option was chosen as, last-first. I changed it to first-last
and that was the answer. I guess sometime past I had chosen the other
thinking that this was the dislpay as choice. Silly me, because that option
is also available in this dialog box. Sorry to take your time but now that
I've experienced using this site I will be more prompt in using it when
needed.
