Hi

My contacts are sorted by First, Last name, and all newly created ones are
also set up to file in the same way. The problem I have is when I click the
"To" box when composing new emails. The contacts come up as Last, First name.
I would like it the other way round.

I have had a good look through the newsgroups regarding this, but can only
find solutions for Office 2003 upwards. My version is 2000 SP3

Any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Scott

The solutions for Outlook 2003 should work for OL 2000 as well, if you're
using the Contacts folder and not the Windindows Address Book as your
contact repository.  Only you can say which you use.
