I am working with XP Home, Outlook 2003, on an exchange server. Here
is my question:

I have created a bunch of tasks related, and selected contacts in the
lower left hand corner of the task setup screen. I have added the
contact field to the task view, and there seems to be a problem. Some
of the contacts show a truncated name - not the full name. I have
viewed all of the fields in the contacts and based on what it is
displaying, it seems to be pulling from either the subject field or
the conversation field. I have experimented and deleted the subject
field, but it does not seem to fix the problem. Where does Outlook
pull from to display the contact a task is assigned to in the task
view and how do I fix this problem?

Thanks for your help!

IIRC, the Contacts display uses the FullName property.
