I have figured out (thanks to this wonderful community) how to import
contacts from an Excel sheet into Outlook....one tiny problem though....how
do I change (for all the imported contacts) how they are filed as.

I do not see the field "file as" as a mapping option when doing the import.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this matter.
 
Russ - thank you --- how do I run that code?

You cannot control what happens to the File As field when you import data.
You can change it after the fact if you want to run code:
