I do not see why it matters how many contacts are affected or howw they got
into Outlook. But I am happy to supply the info. Hundreds of contacts are
affected, but I have not counted them. The entries were brought into Outlook
over time through manual entry, auto entry through email correspondence and
import from a Palm Desktop. The problem did not coincide with any new data
being imported or created.

Thoughts?

Clarify what a "significant proportion" means. You must have more
information than that. Did you create all 1500 of these Contacts in Outlook
2007? If not, how did you populate your Contacts Folder?

Thanks for your response, Russ. I am using Outlook 2007. In this case,
the
way the contacts appear is not dependent on the view I am using. The
problem
is found in all views that utilize the Full Name field. Everything from
Business Card to Phone List view shows the the Full Names incorrectly.

This problem is affecting a significant portion of my contacts (over 1500)
but not all of them. Although the names were entered as separate fields
and
parsed correctly (e.g. First = John and Last = Smith), the Full Name field
(which as been set to display First Last) is incorrectly showing Smith
John,
instead of John Smith.

I cannot change the records manually to correct the problem without
incorrectly listing the information in the name fields. As noted above,
my
settings appear to be correctly set.

I have searched this and other fora and see others having similar
problems,
but I have not seen a solution that works. Any suggestions you can
provide
are appreciated.
