You said that synching with your PDA changed your Email Display As fields.
It shouldn't do that. Outlook can't fix that. Only the developers of your
synch software can.

Sorry I missed your response before now. My apologies.

If this is not an Outlook issue, what is it? Your response didn't provide
any direction. If you know what program is causing this problem, I would
appreciate some guidance instead of simply a statement. My personal
opinion
is that is in indeed an Outlook problem, as I do not use, file, nor access
contacts from any other program.

I agree regarding the importance. But here is a deeper mystery. Even
after
modifying those display names to remove the e-mail address, after
synching
with my PDA, the modified display names revert back to the e-mail
address
only. I'm running Outlook 2003 at both work and home and this problem
is
no
longer a minor annoyance. Any suggestions?

Actually, the field is of great consequence to my clients. I have had
requests to not display their email address and, like Sterling, the
only
display I get is their email address...it does not include their full
or
familiar name (using Outlook, 2003). I have over 300 clients...are you
saying
i have to change each one of these manually???

No. Outlook 2003 will fill in Display As field with both the
familiar
name
and the email address. You have to change it manually if you want it
to
be
something else. That field is of no consequence, so few find any
need
to
change it.

news Thank you for responding to my post.

I'm using Outlook 2003. In the Contact form under the General Tab
there
is
a field called "Display as". My version of Outlook as it was
configured
on
installation automatically fills this in with the email address.
In
other
versions I've used there is a way to get Outlook to automatically
fill that in with the full name. That is what I want to do.

I would like to have Outlook display my contacts by their name
rather
than
their e-mail address. Is there a way to automatically set the
full
name
as
the display name, or do I have to manually enter the display
name
each
time.
