How do I get the last name first when organizing my addressbook?
 

How can something so simple become so aggrivating?!?!? I've followed what
Microsoft says about organizing contacts, but it refuses to do what I want it
to!

Can someone please help me before I throw this piece of crap out the
window?!?!

Go to the Tools menu Email accounts command. Select "View/Change existing
directories or address books" and click Next. Highlight Outlook Address Book
and click Change. Select "File As" in the "Show names by" section

Vince,

Thanks for the reply. However, it doesn't fix my issue. I did what you said.
When I click "Full name" under the contact infpr and make sure the first name
and last name are in the right place, then I select under "File as" Last
name, First name it still shows up in my address book as First name last
name. When I try to play with the coma, it gets further screwy. I don't get
it.

Click ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing directories or address
booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Set you address
book sort order there.

You need to restart Outlook to see the changes.

Russ, thanks!!

Vince, sorry, I had to say your answer didn't help. It did get me in the
right direction, but restarting Outlook brought it all together.

I appreciate all your replies...you too Brian!
