MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007File As: First Name, Last Name - Making everything consistent
I'm in Outlook 2003 w/o Exchange. I prefer Contacts filed as First Name, Last Name, and changed the Options to make this the default. However, some aren't filed this way. I want everything to be consistent without changing individually. All names are in Contacts so this doesn't work: Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address books>Next. When I click Next, a message appears that says "Specified account not found. It might have been deleted." Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in Advance.  SignaturePeggy Duncan, Author Conquer Email Overload with Outlook http://www.PeggyDuncan.com Confusing post. Where is it you want to change the sort order? The Contacts Folder or the address book view? What you set in Tools > Options > Preferences > Contacts is only for new Contacts you create, not existing ones. You have corrupted your Outlook Address Book. Remove any folders currently listed there (Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change.). Add your Current Contacts Folder to it.

Thanks in Advance. I apologize for 2 posts on this topic. My computer burped and I didn't think the post went through the first time. I understand about changing Options for the new Contacts. I'm having a problem with some of the ones already there. "You have corrupted your Outlook Address Book. Remove any folders currently listed there (Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change.). Add your Current Contacts Folder to it." Peggy: I can't get to this point because of the message "Specified account not found. It might have been deleted." Thanks in advance.

Clarify exactly where you get that error message. When you go to Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address books> how can you get a message that the account doesn't exist if you haven't selected an account? If your entire profile is corrupt, just create a new one. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I apologize for 2 posts on this topic.

That's why I'm asking. Perhaps someone else can make more sense out of this. I've explained exactly what's happening.

If you can't even open your accounts to examine them you have a corrupt profile. Create a new one. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I don't know how I'm getting the message.
