Okay, now I'm frustrated.

I have a user who is using CONTACTS as an Address List, and whenever he does
the following:

OPEN new email
Click TO:
Select MY CONTACTS from the drop-down list (the name of his Contacts folder
he is using as an Address Book)

It shows all his contacts okay, but they are displayed FIRSTNAME LASTNAME,
and I can't find anywhere to change that view.

GDit, why does MS have to make so darn many options in so darn many places?

Does anyone know where I can find the option to change that display to
LASTNAME FIRSTNAME?

Thanks,
 
right click in an empty place of the address book, and a menu will appear.
add full name to fields list and the change the sort by option.
 
Hi Guy,

That worked great, thank-you.

There are some days, where I just lose my patience with trying to figure out
what the hell MS is thinking with regard to options.

In which version of Outlook? None of the current ones I'm using have such an
option in the Context menu.
 
Hi Russ,

Thank-you for responding. A previous response post by Shane Lieberg
provided the resolution I needed.

Yes. I know. It was to his reply that I was posting the question because I
can't get it to work in current versions of Outlook.
