File As option in contacts

[SK]

Hi,

Is there a way for the File As option in contacts to set to (First Name Last
Name).

I tried this :::
Tools, Option, Contact Options, Default File As Order ... But it works for
any new contacts being entered. What about the existing contacts which are
filed as Last Name, First Name?

More than 300 contacts are filed as Last Name, First Name and i want to
change them to First Name Last Name, so that after sync with Pocket PC I get
the contacts as First Name Last Name in Pocket PC as well.

The only way I know is open individual contact and change the setting. But I
have 300+ entries. Is there a better way.


Thanks
SK

That setting only applies to new Contacts.
You'd have to use code to change existing File As fields:
Take a look at this MS KB article, it may help:
