Hi, LangtechEE.<br />
<br />
The code below will make the adjustment to all selected contacts. &nbsp;Are you familiar with using macros?<br />

<pre><code id="code-101186">Sub FixFileAs()
    Dim olkContact As Object
    For Each olkContact In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
        If olkContact.Class = olContact Then
            olkContact.FileAs = olkContact.CompanyName &amp; &quot;, &quot; &amp; olkContact.LastName &amp; &quot;, &quot; &amp; olkContact.FirstName
            olkContact.Save
        End If
    Next
    Set olkContact = Nothing
End Sub
</code></pre>

Purely as a matter of curiosity, why choose such a complicated solution over the very simple one I offered?

Hi All, I have a client that just imported quite a few clients to her Outlook client and wants to customize the &quot;file as&quot; field on a global setting. She is able to do this by clicking on the scroll down arrow for each client . Her goal is to have company name, last name, first name as the highlighted field on each contact. Any ideas how to customize this field to aplly to all her contacts?<br />
<br />
