File as: in Contacts set to First name and then Last Name

M

mrudnet

I am using OUtlook 2007. I use Salesforce.com which syncs with OUtlook.
When it puts the information into the contact section and then I open a
contact the field for full name is First name and then last name but the File
As field is Last name and then first name.

I want to file everything by first name. How do I set this as the default
so I don't have to go back in and change it everytime?

Your settings won't apply to Contacts you create by syncing.
What settings did you specify for the File As field?

Russ,
I have not set anything. The File As has a drop down menu with the first
choice being Last name, First name. The second choice is First name Last
name. How do I make that the first choice as it seems that is how this
defaults. THanks.

Well you must have set something. Look and see if you don't remember. You
specify your preference for the File As field in Tools > Options >
Preferences > Contact Options...
It is still unlikely you'll get what you want if you create Contacts by
syncing.
