Not understanding what you're saying. I went to "View", then "Current
View", then "Define View". What do I do next?

Wrong place.
Go to "Customize Current View..."
Configure your Sort option there.

Russ - I don't think you ever really understood what I wanted to do; i
finally figured it out.

To list name and company in an outlook contact, you have to do it on the
main card as you enter the contact's information, before closing the card
select the box "File As" and it gives you the options as to how you you want
the card filed. If you select name and company, it will be listed in the
Contact Directory with the person's name and company listed in the highlighed
section at the top of the card.

However, the quick way to do the entire contact directory at one time can't
be done in outlook. This quick process really has nothing to do with
Outlook. When I use True Sync, a utility which syncs my Franklin/Covey
Planner to Outlook, it provides a menu where I can set up Outlook 2000, it's
there that I can select a global setting, i.e., Last name, first name, then
Company and as it syncs it organizes the information (headings) into all
Outlook contacts the way I want. However, the first paragraph explains how
to do it, if you're only working with Outlook and there is no "quick" way to
update your intire directory within Outlook that I was able to figure out.

You're right.
I never did figure it out.
Not knowing which view and not knowing which field you want to sort by makes
it difficult.
Had you asked how to change the File As... field for existing Contacts, I
could have posted the code to show you how.
