Default Contacts - Mass "File As" Change

You can do this with VBA code. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/convertfields.htm, which is an example of how to loop through all the contacts in a folder and change some properties. The property you'd want to change is FileAs. If, for example, you wanted to change it to First Last (Company), you'd need a code statement like this:

objItem.FileAs = objItem.FirstName & " " & Item.LastName & vbCrLf & Item.CompanyName

I export my Outlook Contacts to my cell phone, when a call comes in the
caller id displays the company and not the caller's name. This is because of
the way I have my Contacts filed. Currently I have all my Outlook contacts
filed as Company (Full Name).

Since I have hundreds of Contacts I'd like to change the way all of my
contacts are filed in one action as opposed to changing them individually.

Any ideas?

tks,
steve
