Somehow I lost the company name associations in "file as" in over 1500

contacts. Probably had something to do with synching a blackberry.

Is there a way to recreate this en mass if a company exists and do nothing

of none exists etc?

EX

John Doe.

XYX, INC

File as:

John Doe (XYX, Inc.)

TIA!
 
The code sample at http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/file-as.htm sets the

fileas. This uses Outlook's default fileas types so you don't need to test

for the presence of a company name - if there isn't a company name it uses

Last, First only.

I see that yes, but how do I reset old ones that already exist?

I get it a bit better.

I ran the script and wound up with No names at all in "File as", Just blanks

need a bit of help with what to edit in the script.

any way to fix this?

What version of outlook?

That's weird. There is nothing to edit - you just need to remove the ' from

in front of the format you want to use and run it - it sets the file as

field to that format for each contact.
