Default changes I make to contacts email "display as" field change back to

I'm using Outlook 2003. When I make changes to email display as field, some
take and some change back to default Full Name (email address). I'm only
using one computer and not syncing with any PDA's or any other devices.

Try clearing any autocompletion entries you have for those Contacts who
refuse to change.

Don't have any. The one that I'm experimenting with is a new contact. I've
never typed in her email address so there is no autocomplete...

Well, SNAP! Yes I am Syncing, but I still don't know what's changing it.
I'm using Outlook Connector and syncing with the address book on MSN, but
there's no "display as" field on those records. If I make changes in
Outlook, as soon as I send/receive, they change back to default, but I have
plenty of contact records that do hold the change. I have no idea where the
change is coming from.

I was asking the steps you are using for creating the Contacts then changing
the Display As field, what happens when you tab out of the field, and at
what point exactly the email display as field changes.

I've tried lots of different ways. On the contact record, delete just the
email address, leave the name, hit enter. Delete the whole field and retype,
click save and close. From list view double click "email display as" field,
change and hit enter. In that instance, I changed three or four records and
watched as they changed back during the send receive.

So when you hit "Save and Close" the changes persist until you do an email
poll?
Is this an HTTP account or a standard mail account?
