MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2006Change File As Field for All Contacts
Hi! I use Outlook 2003. Is there a code to run in order to change the "File As" fields for ALL contacts? I found a code for 2002 but not for 2003. I want it to change the appearence in the Address Book as well! Cheers, Filip The same code should work for both versions. If it doesn't, show the code you're using.

I want a code to change all Contacts to be "File As:" FIRST LAST in Outlook 2003. As I open the VBA, what do I type in there?? I'm going crazy, help me =) Thanks! > See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm for Outlook VBA basics.

The notes on that page discuss how to adapt the technique to change the FileAs value. In your case, you'd use: objItem.FileAs = objItem.FirstName & " " & objItem.LastName SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx > Okay, I am not able to use to code.
