I did restart Outlook and I even shut down my computer. I just deleted one
name from my contact list and re-entered it and now it works correctly, but I
really don't want to have to do that for 50+ contacts. Thanks for any input
and thanks for your quick response.

I am running Outlook 2003. I did go to the Outlook Address Book via control
panel, mail, email accounts, view or change existing directories or
address
books, selected change and went to the MS Address book and changed the
"show
names by" to File as last, first, but still no luck!

All the time. You haven't set the sort order for the Outlook Address
Book.
You've only set it for Contacts.
If you can't figure out how to do that, then post your Outlook version so
we
can tell you.

news I have my contact options set as Last First for Full Name, File As and
in
Display As, but when I start a new email, click on To: go to my
contacts,
the
contacts are coming up with First Name First instead of Last Name
First.
Has
anyone seen this and/or have a remedy?
