Contacts not filing correctly
Contacts folder is not filing correctly. When you create a new
contact, they organize themselves based on what is in the 'company' field - blatantly ignoring whatever you put in the 'file as' field. Even if you leave the 'company' field blank, they show up at the beginning of the contacts folder with a blank heading. Does someone know if this is something that happens by design....perhaps a setting somewhere....?

Yes. It is a setting. Only you could know what it is because only you know
your Outlook version, the view, and the settings you specified. Without that basic information, no one could possibly help you. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "probcdc" wrote in message oups.com...

Sorry. You answered none of my questions and provided none of the
information we would need. Please read my post again and respond accordingly. Also, you don't populate the File As... field, Outlook does, so I don't understand what you mean by "whatever you put in the File As field." -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "probcdc" wrote in message ups.com...

It doesn't populate the file as field automatically like it should, so I have been entering it manually. whether the file as field is blank or not, the contacts folder files the contact according to the company name. if you leave the company name blank it puts the contact at the beginning of the contacts folder, even if the file as field has something in it. If that's not clear, then i cannot be clear.

Contacts not filing correctly
As I said, you do not populate the File As... field. Outlook does, using the
setting you specified. I am asking you for the setting you specified. Only you know that. And if you don't know, look and remind yourself: Tools Options Preferences Contact Options...

The default 'file as' order has been set to each option at some point(first last, company, etc) and it seems to make no difference with the Contacts - new or existing. I understand what you mean about the settings, but they all get ignored. No matter what is in the 'file as' field, the Contacts organize themselves based on what is in the Company field - and they are not supposed too. Is this just corruption of the Contacts? Should i just re-install Outlook?

Contacts not filing correctly
When you create a new Contact in Outlook, are you saying that the File As...
field is not formatted with the preference you have set for that profile? If so, then you have a corrupt profile. Reinstalling Outlook won't help (never does). Create a new profile. Repair your PST file before you do. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "probcdc" wrote in message oups.com... Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: As I said, you do not populate the File As... field.
