Change default settings? pederb 2/12/2007 7:36:00 PM How do I change the default setting in Contact view? I want it to sort first by Company, then by First name, then Last name and last State. I have changed the settings over and over again but it does not save it. I search for company name 75% of the time and every time I have change the settings unless I keep Outlook open all the time. Please advise, I really want to get rid of my ACT. -Peder-

Re: Change default settings? "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 2/12/2007 8:09:09 PM Peder: Did you change the settings by using Customize Current View or by clicking on the column headings? I would recommend using Customize Current View -- that should do it. If you are doing that and the settings aren't sticking, then there is a deeper problem going on that the BCM Team may be able to troubleshoot.

Re: Change default settings? "Clinton Ford [MSFT]" <ClintonFordMSFT[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 2/13/2007 5:53:30 PM Try creating a new view by copying the current view. From the main Outlook window, select "View | Current View | Define Views..." Then click "Copy..." and assign the view a name. Click "Modify..." to change the view settings. Once you have modified the view, click "Apply View" to make this the current view. -- Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "pederb" <pederb[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EA684708-F1DA-4904-B161-A1E13FB6688E[ at ]microsoft.com...
