Outlook 2002 - I have changed my default "file as" order to First Last.
Which is working fine for new contacts, but I cannot see a way to also amend
the "file as" order in the existing data. Can anyone help?
 
Is this also possible for Outlook 2000? I went to the KB article and it only
states Outlook 2002. Thanks in advance. Kate Wolman

I can't get past Step 2 using Outlook 2003 as there is no FORMS link in TOOLS.

Is ther an updated version of this How-To?

Thanks

Steve,

This question comes up frequently. Sperry Software is developing an
add-in that will perform the "File As" conversion on all your existing
contacts and we are looking for beta testers. If you're interested in
trying it out, please email me directly at sales (at) sperrysoftware.com.

If anyone else is interested in beta testing this add-in, please just
email as well and we'll get you set up.

Thanks!

Sorry, I read the first posts only before I wrote my answer.

It`s runs for Outlook 2000-2007.
