Why does Subject field change after I save contact?
When I create a contact, I click "All Fields" and enter infomation in the
"Subject" field. (1) after I save the contact, the text I entered in "Subject" field changes and I have to go back in and enter it again. It usually keeps the data on the second attempt. (2) later, if I go back into that contact to change General information, the "Subject" field changes again, and I have to go back in and re-enter it.

Why does Subject field change after I save contact?
The Subject field is a hidden field and a derived field. There is never any
reason to edit it directly. What was it you were trying to accomplish? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nancy in Napa" Nancy in wrote in message ...

Why does Subject field change after I save contact?
The boss wants the "Name" column of the Address book to read:
Company Name Person Last, Person First So, I make that entry in Post field "Subject" and it looks exactly that way. If nothing is entered in "Subject", all you see in the Name column of Address book is Person First Person Last ALSO.... We use Company/Contact Name view for contacts. The boss wants the top line of the Contact info (card) to read this way: Company Name - Person/Title He has me enter that "look" into the Misc field "User Field 2". If nothing is entered in User Field 2, you don't see the person at all (in Company/Contact Name view). I really appreciate any help you can send my way...the process is very time-consuming!

Not sure why you would be using the Subject field for this. The Address Book
view never uses it. The only views by which you can sort the address book view are "First, Last" or "File As" Seems to me you should be configuring the File As field be what you want, then sort by that Field. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nancy in Napa" wrote in message ...
