When I enter new contacts, and the contact window opens after name entry, the
name appears as follows: Mr. Herman John.  Why is the last name appearing
where the first name should be?  Is there a glitch in my system?

You've posted no information that would permit an answer.
Post your Outlook version.
Post the setting you specified for your Full Name field in Contacts.

I am using Outlook 2003 edition.  I am entering the information in the
contacts folder by opening the "check full name" screen.  When I enter the
information in the appropriate boxes and click "o.k." the name appears in the
"full name" box as Mr./Mrs. "last name" "first name."  It does it now on
every entry and I am not sure how to correct this.  I hope this is more clear.

Not really.
You did not post the settings you specified for the Full Name field.
If you don't know, look:

From your question, you gave the answer.  That setting was LastFirst; I had
never seen this setting before.

Thanks!
