MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2004Display As field in Outlook 2003
When we upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003, we noticed a new field in Contacts -- the Display As field. The problem is that field is populated with the Contacts' email address instead of their name. Is there a way to quickly change this so that as we rollout to the rest of our firm it would be populated with the name and not the email address? Thanks. The field has always been there, it was just a hidden field in earlier versions. The format for that field cannot be configured by the end user. Each version of Outlook has formatted it differently. All you can do is reset the field individually for each Contact.

Thanks. Outlookcode.com might have some vba code that can run through them and change it...

If you can change the File As... field, it ought to be possible to change the Email Display As field.
