Suddenly, when I enter a new contact in my Outlook Address Book
(Microsoft Outlook version 2002) the field for Full Name reverses
lastname and firstname although I enter these in firstname, lastname
order. This means that when entering addresses in my email some of
the list comes up by lastname although most is by firstname. I must
have changed something, but don't know what. Please help !

Since the Address Book contains no data, you should never enter anything
from the Address Book. Your contacts are in the Contacts folders and that
where you should add them.
