Default Change "Display as" field

I imported my contacts to my new computer's Outlook 2003 and although in my
old computer everything was fine (same version of Outlook), i found out that
in the new one, the "Display as" field had changed to "LastName, FirstName"
format. I tried to change it manualy for each contact to "FirstName LastName"
by deleting everything in the display as field and pressing the tab button
but it didn't work. Is there a way to fix this?

Default Change "Display as" field

This is one of the many reasons you never import Outlook data.
To change the File As... field for existing Contacts you will have to run
code.
