Contacts created by OWA can only be 'find' by lastname
Thanks Brian. Here's what I did,
Open Outlook Click New to compose a new Message Click on To to select contacts under the 'Show Names from the:' dropdown list,choose 'Contacts' under 'Type Name or Select from list:', enter the name to search for. The contacts input by Outlook can be searched by firstname. But the contacts input by OWA can only be searched by lastname.

However I can find it by lastname. If I add a new personal contact in Outlook, I can find it by firstname, but not last name. How are you performing the search? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Well, OWA and Outlook are unrelated (other than both being Exchange access clients), so it doesn't surprise me that Outlook can do something OWA can't or that its behavior is different. I don't use OWA often enough to have tried what you describe and I can't access it at the moment. You might find the people who frequent microsoft.public.exchange.clients newsgroup may be able to help, since that's where OWA is discussed. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
