Displaying Outlook Contacts

[Steve857]

Hi there,

Anybody out there know how 'Display As' is configured in Outlook Contacts?
Some of my contacts list the last name, followed by the first name and then
the email address in parentheses and others are displayed first name, last
name and then the email address. Any ideas as to how to fix to make it all
consistent? Thanks very much Steve

I believe it uses the data from the name field. That can be changed in
Tools, options, contacts but will only apply to new contacts.

As I told someone yesterday who asked about the Email Display name field-
You can use this VBA code: http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/file-as.htm
changing the .fileas portion of the code to something like this:
.Email1DisplayName = .Email1Address
This will use the email address as the display name.
