The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Outlook 2003 Contact List >> File As: Need to mass change format.

Asked by DatabaseMX in Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: Outlook 2003, Contacts, File As

I have a 'cell phone' contact list with 100+ contacts (name and numbers only) that is used to program a cell phone (nothing special about this list).

Originally, the Default File As (Tools>>Options>>Preferences>>Contact Options) was set to
Last, First. Consequently, all contacts in this list (and all lists) are 'filed' as such.

I now need to have all contacts in this list to be filed as First Last.

I've been through every menu option, Actions and settings, etc., and I'm not seeing an option to do a 'mass' change for this. It seems the only approach is to do each contact manually, which is not acceptable.

How can I do this for all contacts at the same time?

If there is not a 'menu' operation in the UI, is there a vba code snippet that will do this?

thx..mx
