How can something so simple become so aggrivating?!?!? I've followed what
Microsoft says about organizing contacts, but it refuses to do what I want it to! Can someone please help me before I throw this piece of crap out the window?!?! Kevin

How do I get the last name first when organizing my addressbook?
Go to the Tools menu Email accounts command. Select "View/Change existing
directories or address books" and click Next. Highlight Outlook Address Book and click Change. Select "File As" in the "Show names by" section "kswillard" wrote in message news  How can something so simple become so aggrivating?!?!?

How do I get the last name first when organizing my addressboo
Vince,
Thanks for the reply. However, it doesn't fix my issue. I did what you said. When I click "Full name" under the contact infpr and make sure the first name and last name are in the right place, then I select under "File as" Last name, First name it still shows up in my address book as First name last name. When I try to play with the coma, it gets further screwy. I don't get it. Kevin "Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Go to the Tools menu Email accounts command.

Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Set you address book sort order there. -- Brian Tillman

You need to restart Outlook to see the changes.

Russ, thanks!!
Vince, sorry, I had to say your answer didn't help. It did get me in the right direction, but restarting Outlook brought it all together. I appreciate all your replies...you too Brian!
