Outlook 2000: Retrospectively changing order of "file as" in Contacts?
Problem: 600 contacts, all of them "filed as" "last, firstname".
They need to be "first, lastname". So I changed preferences, logged off (as per suggestions on the net) and restarted, but still they remain "last, first". Apart from changing everyone manually (impossible) is there any other way to make this mass change? Thanks

See this, for example: http://www.outlook-stuff.com/compone...id,1/Itemid,2/ -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I had to read the FAQ to discover why it kept freezing though - you can't manage more than 30 contacts at a time if using the "apply to selected contacts" option. I just applied it to the whole folder instead and it was fine.
