Also try clicking on address book and that is where you can sort the names how you want, I know mine show up as last name first, I just make sure I go into each one under properties and change the display name to last first.

The client in question asked me about it again. Also the issue is with Outlook 2000 and 2003. >=20 > I have a client using Outlook 2000 on an Exchange server.
