Weird "bug" in outlook 2002 contacts

S

Steve

Hello anyone

I just found a weird effect in contacts. If i add a new
contact with the name "xxxyyy Dent" in the full name
section, the name is stored in the Title field. It
doesn't matter how the new contact is created. The only
thing that makes it happen is if the surname is Dent. Any
clues as to why this has been left in Outlook would be
greatly appreciated. BTW, you can work around it. I just
thought it would be interesting to see if a "Dent" was in
the programming team. Looks like an easter egg to me.
