"Select Names" lists by First Name
Running Outlook 2000.
Somehow, my contacts, which are sorted ascending by last name, started showing up in the "Select Names" box sorted by first name when I click "To" when trying to address a new email. So, when I type the last name of the addressee in the white box to the left of the "Find" button, the contact does not come up; first names come up. What's the fix? Thanks, in advance. Bob Adler

"Select Names" lists by First Name
Mr. Valentine:
Thanks for response. But, here are the choices in my Tools menu (when the Contacts are on the screen): Address Book Find Advanced Find Organize Empty Deleted Items Folder Forms Macro Mail Merge Accounts Customize Options Update contacs from Customer Manager Customer Manager Activity Tracker Options Separate Contacts from Customer Manager. No submenus give me an OUtlook Address Book Service. Am I soing something wrong?

Post your correct Outlook version and mail support mode.
You said Outlook 2000, in which case the Tools menu would include a Services option. Try again. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message ... Mr. Valentine: Thanks for response.

"Select Names" lists by First Name
Russ, I am using Outlook 2002 and have the same issue. Display is fine under Contacts, but when using the drop-down "To:" box, the names are First, Last. The remedy you cite for 2000 is what I'm looking for, but cannot find in 2002.
Please advise. Thanks in advance for the help.
