Outlook 2003 contacts & the display as field...
I have Outlook 2003, and have about 100 contacts. I've set the option for
the contacts to show as 'first-name / last-name'. But, how can I change ALL my contacts 'display as' to show first name last name, WITHOUT going into each one and changing it?

You can't. One wonders why you would need to. It won't affect anything since
that field is not used for sorting. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ivan T. Williams" wrote in message ... I have Outlook 2003, and have about 100 contacts.

rushing... "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... You can't. One wonders why you would need to.

Microsoft has provided some code samples to allow you to do that. I don't
know if it's supported in Outlook 2003. http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=ol2002 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ivan T. Williams" wrote in message ... Wait, sorry, hold the phone!
