Outlook 2003 - First name, Last name

[Tom]

I have a lot of local Contacts in Outlook 2003 (Exchange 2003). All of my
contacts are inserted as Last name, First Name. I want to easy change status
all of then to First Name, Last Name.

When I used "How to display the Contacts list in last name, first name order
in Outlook 2002, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319142", it did't help
for me.

Please, help me.



Thnx.

Because KB319142 describes how to the new contact info will be saved. I
tested it, it works fine.

But, my question is, if I have a lot existing Contacts saved as Last Name,
First Name, how I can change their stauts that it shows like First Name,
Last Name?

Hm, strange...KB291144 says:
How to Design the Custom Form
1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Mail Message to open
a new e-mail message.
2. On the Tools menu of the new e-mail message, point to Forms, and
then click Design This Form.


On Outlook 2000 I can select Tools>- Forms>- Design This Form..... but not
in Outlook 2003. Could you try this step?

I've been told it works the same.

You need to turn off Word as your email editor first, if you're trying to work on a message form. Or, just us a different kind of form. It doesn't have to be a message form. Or, even easier, run the code in VBA.
