![]() "Karl Timmermans" wrote: There are four words that cause the action you describe (at least the only ones we've found so far) - these are The, Le, La, El This transposition only occurs when you initially "add" a new contact and there's no way to turn that off that we're aware of BUT what you can do is save your contact and then update the name field with the same value - no transposition occurs when "changing" the company name. In your case since you already are using VBA - just need to check the name field and proceed accordingly. Karl __________________________________________ Karl Timmermans - The Claxton Group ContactGenie - Importer 1.3 / DataPorter 2.0 "Power contact importers for MS Outlook '2000/2003" http://www.contactgenie.com "Jeff" wrote in message ... When I create a new contact in Outlook 2000, and enter in a company name starting with "LA" or "LE", Outlook rewrites the company name and takes the "LA" or "LE" and moves it to the end of the company preceded by a comma. I assume it thinks "LA" or "LE" is the French equivalent of "The". In reality, the "LA" in these contacts stands for "Los Angeles" and I don't want this to happen. I am actually using a VBA script to import contact records from my Access 2000 database to a contacts folder in my Outlook PST when this happens, so it would be a real pain to go back in and edit each of the misnamed companies. Is there some way to simply turn this feature off? |
