Takodashouse, I had a similar problem, unless your a software expert you can
forget about it. Russ' link sends you off into the dark world of Visual Basic
& Scripting. (Custom Forms - in Outlook).

Oh Boy Russ, That was a Big Help.

Does this mean that I'll have to go into each individual contact and
change
the "File as" from last name to Company? Each person has over 1,000
contacts.

Thanks.

When importing my Excel contacts into Outlook Contacts, all my contacts
are
sorted by last name. I want them to be sorted by Company. I tried
setting
the default for filing new contacts to Company, moving the Company
column
to
the first column in the Excel spreadsheet, and sorting the Excel
spreadsheet
by the Company. Unfortunately, I have to update six different peoples
contacts in this manner and and everyone wants them sorted by Company.
Any
suggestions?

Thank you.
