Sorry. You answered none of my questions and provided none of the
information we would need. Please read my post again and respond
accordingly. Also, you don't populate the File As... field, Outlook does,
so
I don't understand what you mean by "whatever you put in the File As
field."

Contacts folder is not filing correctly. When you create a new
contact, they organize themselves based on what is in the 'company'
field - blatantly ignoring whatever you put in the 'file as' field.
Even if you leave the 'company' field blank, they show up at the
beginning of the contacts folder with a blank heading. Does
someone
know if this is something that happens by design....perhaps a
setting
somewhere....?
It's Outlook 2003 Standard with sp2....I've gone into the Contacts
options and toggled both settings. But it ignores whatever is in the
'file as' field
I'm not sure what you are asking....if I knew what settings were to
blame, i would put them in the post - it's Outlook 2003 Standard with
sp2 using the 'address card' view in the contacts folder(does it in any
view though). It doesn't populate the file as field automatically like
it should, so I have been entering it manually. whether the file as
field is blank or not, the contacts folder files the contact according
to the company name. if you leave the company name blank it puts the
contact at the beginning of the contacts folder, even if the file as
field has something in it. If that's not clear, then i cannot be clear.
