MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2005I need help the FILE AS feature in Contacts
The FILE AS feature is inconsistent in placing last name, first name. I don't want the first and last names to show on my view, but I want the contacts organized by Company name, with (Smith, John) beneath it. They keep coming up with (John, Smith). But some of them come up correct. I've checked and re-checked my settings and I can't find what's different between the ones which appear correctly and the ones which don't. Very frustrating! Help? There is no information here. Post your Outlook version, view, what "settings" you've checked and how you configured those settings.

Settings mean the settings you specified for the File As... field. I assume you know those setting will not apply to existing Contacts, only the new ones you create.

No, I did not know that. That must be the problem. Because some of them are fine, and some are screwed up. I highlighted all the contacts before I changed the settings so I thought that would make it affect all of them. But I guess what you're saying is that no global changes can be made? Crud. Is there no way to change the existing contacts? > Settings mean the settings you specified for the File As... field. > I assume you know those setting will not apply to existing Contacts, only [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > which appear correctly and the ones which don't.

There is, but you'd need to use code to do it. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291144&Product=ol2002 SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > No, I did not know that.
