In our company, staff sometimes lists clients with only their first
names in Outlook contacts.
But we need first AND last names listed for subsequent e-mail contact
by the sales group.
Is there a way to force users to fill in a contact's last name before
Outlook will save that contact?
Or at least remind/encourage/reward them?
(Unfortunately, there is no server.)

Yes. Do it at your weekly sales meetings. You can tell who created a new
Contact BTW - that may help provide some focus for them.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
