How do I change "file as" format for all contacts in a folder?

[Pete]

I am running Outlook 2007. I have over 2000 contacts that I imported from ACT!.
I need the contacts to "file as" last name, first name (company).
How can I perform this without having to go through each contact manually?
Respectfully,
Pete

I ran the macro, but i need the contacts to view Last name, first name
(company).

macro to perform the correct file as format?

change the strFileAs line to this:
strFileAs = .FullNameAndCompany

You've changed the default file as in the tools, options, contacts already,
correct?
