Tools Contacts Change Defaults
Microsoft Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6811) SP3
The contact (address) list in Microsoft Outlook is in first name, last name I want last name, first name. Help says go to Ms Outlook, Tools, Options, Contacts, (change default settings ), then click OK. Then Apply on the next screen. The problem is Apply is grayed out, and cannot be used. I am an administrator and there is NO EXCHANGE. Any ideas how to activate this option? Thanks Bob

Your post is too vague. Post more clearly the view you are actually trying
to sort. "contact (address) list" could mean anything. Are you referring to the address book view instead of a Contacts view? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Bob" wrote in message news:ZLFQg.4144$rg1.529@dukeread01...

That much you made clear. Answer the other questions.
The Contact Folder has many possible views and names appear in many fields.

Perhaps you are confused by the fact that the settings you seem to be trying
to use are only for new Contacts, not existing one.
