Default File As: First Name, Last Name - Making everything consistent

I'm in Outlook 2003 w/o Exchange. I prefer Contacts filed as First Name, Last
Name, and changed the Options to make this the default. However, some aren't
filed this way. I want everything to be consistent without changing
individually.

All names are in Contacts so this doesn't work: ToolsE-mail AccountsView
or change existing directories or address booksNext. When I click Next, a
message appears that says "Specified account not found. It might have been
deleted."

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in Advance.

Confusing post. Where is it you want to change the sort order? The Contacts
Folder or the address book view? What you set in Tools Options
Preferences Contacts is only for new Contacts you create, not existing
ones.
You have corrupted your Outlook Address Book. Remove any folders currently
listed there (Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories
or address books Outlook Address Book Change.). Add your Current
Contacts Folder to it.

Default File As: First Name, Last Name - Making everything consistent

I apologize for 2 posts on this topic. My computer burped and I didn't think
the post went through the first time.

I understand about changing Options for the new Contacts. I'm having a
problem with some of the ones already there.

"You have corrupted your Outlook Address Book. Remove any folders currently
listed there (Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories
or address books Outlook Address Book Change.). Add your Current
Contacts Folder to it."

Peggy: I can't get to this point because of the message "Specified account
not found. It might have been deleted."

Thanks in advance.

That doesn't fit. Clarify exactly where you get that error message. When you
go to ToolsE-mail AccountsView
or change existing directories or address books how can you get a message
that the account doesn't exist if you haven't selected an account? If your
entire profile is corrupt, just create a new one.

I don't know how I'm getting the message. That's why I'm asking. Perhaps
someone else can make more sense out of this. I've explained exactly what's
happening.

I already told you what to do. If you can't even open your accounts to
examine them you have a corrupt profile. Create a new one.
