Outlook 2007 fails to export Contacts "file as" field
Running Outlook 2007 on Vista.
I am able to export Contacts, but regardless of the export format, the "File As" field is missing. My goal is to synchronize the Contacts on my office computer with those on my home computer (Outlook 2007 on XP) by exporting from one and importing to the other - but the operation is hampered by the missing "File As" field. And if I import, it defaults to ordinary lastname firstname, which is unsatisfactory because I have customized the entries in the File As field. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

That's because File As is a derived field (generated from other fields) and is not a field of its own. My goal is to synchronize the Contacts on my office computer with those on my home computer (Outlook 2007 on XP) by exporting from one and importing to the other A singularly poor way to accomplish the goal. - but the operation is hampered by the missing "File As" field.

Importing and exporting is a good way to guarantee that you will lose data. See the ideas here instead: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.asp -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
