The settings you need to examine are located he
Tools Options Preferences Contact Options...
Does anything there explain the behavior you are seeing?

Thank you - I clicked it - it does pull up the box for title, first,
middle,
last, etc. but it puts the first name in the last name box and vice versa.
I have Office/Outlook 2007 and have tried repairing it and reloading it.
Thank you for not making this newbie feel like an idiot.

When I add a contact - firstname lastname - my File As field thinks the
first
name is the last name. If I go to the File As field, it shows the
comma
after the first name (as if it were the last name - ie - suzanne,
brady)
Can someone help me change this?
