Lin, This method worked great! All his contacts now show as LastName, FirstName. But it didn't change the order of his contacts from within a new email message. When he opens a new message, clicks TO:, and views his Contacts; they're still displayed FirstName LastName. Is there a way to change this? I've looked around for a sort option specific to this, but I can't find one. Ideas? What have I missed? tj -----Original Message----- From: Linda F. Johnson [mailto:linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Hey tj....I didn't even think of that....but that should work fine...good idea Linda -----Original Message----- From: Higley, T.J. I downloaded and played with this a bit, Linda. It looks like a pretty slick little proggy. But I've decided on a more simplistic approach. I'm gonna export Contacts to a comma-delim file, change my Contact Preferences to Last, First, then import the comma-delim file back into Contacts. It seemed to work pretty well on a small test of 20 contacts. Will let you know how it goes when I do the entire list tomorrow. tj ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
