File as
Is there a way to change a whole contact list at one time to-
file as "company then contact name" I do not know why but my contact list keeps reverting to " file as: First then last name " and I need it to file by company first. I have manually changed each one to file as: company then name several times It would helpIf there was a way to change them all at one time. I have gone into options and set it for a company first preference but tis does not make any changes. -- ArtLene

You would have to run code to do that and we don't even know your Outlook
version. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ArtLene_Russo" wrote in message ...

I tried to keep spacing exactly as seen. Is it necessary to keep the spacing? Can I just cut and paste?

Thanks for your help, I did cut and past
I saved to word (which kept the spacing) and then cut and pasted and it worked.

Code for the 2007 version?
Can you point me in the direction of code for the 2007 version...and would
that code fix the following problem? When I copy my contacts from one folder to another they seem to display fine according to my settings (Last name, First name) however the moment I leave that folder and return to it, the contacts are all displaying as First name Last name...I am working with around 400+ contacts so far and increasing. I cannot possibly change them one-by-one and apparently, even if I did, they'd most likely revert to whatever Outlook thinks is best. VERY ANNOYING! Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated! J.T.
