what do you want in the email display name field?

You can use this VBA code: http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/file-as.htm
changing the .fileas portion of the code to something like this:
.Email1DisplayName = .Email1Address
This will use the email address as the display name.

Outlook 2003/2007 on Exchange 2003.

The software package that is currently being used updates only the e-
mail field, not the e-mail display as field...which unfortunately
another application pulls from. Needless to say they end up being
'out of sync', as in the EDA shows the out-dated e-mail address.
