"View" - When I double click and open a contact several of them read
"Untitled - Contact" in the upper corner. I have many that correctly reflect
the contact's name ie. "Joe Smith - Contact". I've compared both types of
contacts and each has the exact same fields populated within the contact
record so I'm not able to trace down one particular field as being absent of
information.

I noticed the issue after noting a few birthdays under the "Details" tab
within the record. It would not list the individual's name on the
reminder
dropped into my calendar. It would only reflect " 's Birthday", ie absent
of
the individual's name of the record I just flagged for having a birthday.

Russ Valentine said:If you are talking about the Title Bar of an open Contact Record, that is
populated programmatically Outlook by using various name elements, usually
First Name/Last Name or if that is missing, then Company.
If your Title bars are not populating then you did something to corrupt the
Contact Record, like importing them. Recreate the Contacts in question and
see if it straightens out.

RG said:Recreating the Contacts record is prohibitive based on the sheer number of
them. Can you recommend certain fields to "check" and ensure they're
populated which if they're not could account for the issue? I'm trying to
avoid recreating a multitude of records.

Have a look at the Contacts in the Phone List View and show the First and
Last Name fields. Is there data in them?
Turn on the Advanced Toolbar, change to Phone List view and use the field
chooser to add the fields.
I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

"Full
Name" field it rectifies the issue. All the fields are currently
populated
but for some reason not all are pulling the information. The contact name
must be reinserted to rectify the situation.
