Outlook 2007 Display View
When viewing my Contacts folder in OL 2007, they are sorted by Last
Name-First Name. This is a good thing. When creating email and clicking the "To:" button, the names are listed by First Name-Last Name. How can I change this latter setting to match what's displayed in the Contacts folder. Going to Account Settings, Address Books, Outlook Address Books, Change, Contacts Personal Folders, doesn't seem to change the latter view. Any help is appreciated.

It will if you set it to the correct setting and restart Outlook.

Then state what isn't happening that you think should.
Examine your File as field. Outlook will do what you tell it to. Apparently you aren't providing Outlook with proper instructions. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "---Fitz---" wrote in message ...

What isn't happening that I think should be happening is that when creating
email and clicking the "To:" button, the names are listed by First Name-Last Name instead of Last Name-First Name like I have set in the "File As" field. I'm not sure of what additional instructions I can give to Outlook to make the fields display as I set them and as is displayed in Contacts. Thanks "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

How you have set Contacts to display in the Contacts Folder is irrelevant.
If you set the Outlook Address Book to display by the File As field, then it is. Examine your File As fields. Explain what part of this is not end user error. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "---Fitz---" wrote in message ...

If you have set the Outlook Address Book to sort by the File As... field and
restarted Outlook, then it is sorting by the File As... field. The preference you set for the File As.. field in Outlook is not in play. That will only apply to new Contacts you create, not your existing Contacts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "---Fitz---" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the info. I've set it that way so I don't understand the failure
to sort as set. I can attach screen shots if it would help. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...
