Address book when I let blank the last name?

Hello,
In my Address book when I let blank the last name.
It automatically recopy the last name to the first name.
If I delete it, it reaper a few minutes later?
How can I avoid that?

  • Pagnation by the first letter of the last name

    Hello,
    I have a report that is Grouped by Cities and then Last Name.  So New York is the city and then all the customers are listed below in Ascending order starting with the first customer who last name begins with the letter A and continues thru to Z and then the next City Starts with it's customers listed A thru Z.
    What I need now is to have the report put the customers on a new page when the first letter of the last name changes.  So New York will have it's cutomers with last names that start with A on page 1 and end on page 2 and New York customers with last names that start with B will start on page 3 and end on 5 and so on.  How do I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Heather

    So if you have a last name field, and the names are in the detail section simply do this:
    1 - Go to the section expert for the detail section.
    2 - Click on the X-2 button to the right of New Page Before
    3 - In the formula editor use the following (with your last name field instead of my generic fieldname):
      not onfirstrecord;
      LEFT (, 1) <> PREVIOUS (LEFT(, 1))
    4 - Save & close the formula and OK out of the section expert.

  • In address book, if I try to show first name before the last name, why do only a few names change?

    Using address book on 10.7.2, when I go to "preferences" to change the display order between showing the "first name" before or after the last name, only about 25% of names will change.  The rest all stay in the same order.   Any ideas? 

    By default any outgoing email has the addresses saved in the Collected address book. You can turn this option off if you want.

  • How do I sort my address book by the last name, not the first name

    AS I created my address book the names were added randomly to the address book. When I print out the address book the names come up with first name, Last name (all in random order alphabetically). I would like them to come up with Last name, first name, email address in alphabetic order by the Last Name. How do I get them sorted corretly??

    Enable the menu in the Address Book. Then look at the options under View and Sort By.

  • I lost my address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have not been able to recover it.  WHen I type in a name in an email the address shows up, so I know it is in there.  How can I restore my address book?

    I don't know how to do this.  I typed the question in the bar above, but apparently need to type it again here.  I lost my entire address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have been unable to recover it.  I know the information is in there as when I type in someone's name in an email the address always shows up right away.  How can I find the information for my contacts and restore my address book? Do I need to go to the Apple Store that is 2 hours away and have an expert help me or can I find out how to do it online for free myself?

    The auto-complete in Mail addresses comes from two sources: (1) The "Previous Recipients" list, which can be viewed via Mail > Window > Previous Recipients. (2) Your Address Book (now called "Contacts").
    If you did in fact lose your Address Book - are you sure you don't have "Contacts" in your Applications Folder? - It sounds like you are getting addresses from source (1).  If you did in fact lose your  Address Book (now called "Contacts" !!), you will have to restore it from a backup.

  • How to arrange contacts in my Addess Book starting with the last name, re-doing them all at once, not individually. (I have 910 names in my Address Book).

    This is a new computer. I see that my addresses have been arranged so that they read from the first name -- i.e. Jimmy Brown comes under 'J', not 'B'. I should like to put them all so that they read from the last name, first. I can do this individually but very much hope that there is a way that I can do ALL of them in ONE go? There are 910 addresses! Thank you very much, Frederica

    First step is to set the address book to show last name and then the first.
    Open the Address Book
    Select View-Show Name As-Last, First
    Then click on the column header labeled NAME to sort on that column.

  • The address book in a new email shows only names, no addresses

    I recently added new names with their email addresses in "Address Book" - picked the Group I wanted and then clicked the + sign under Names and entered the info in the space to the right.  I had already created a mailbox for each name and had gone through Mailbox-Preferences-Rules to have emails from or to routed to the correct boxes [which it did when I clicked on "Apply" at the end of this process].  All this to show what I did prior to choosing "New Message" in Email.  When I got the blank email page, I clicked on the Address Book icon above to retrieve the address I wanted and only the names of the people I had entered were displayed, NOT their email addresses.   I then restarted the computer - still the same.  How do I get the addresses to show up???

    Solved the problem.  Guess it helps sometimes to write down problems.

  • I can no longer select multiple addresses from my Mail address book when forwarding emails

    Since updating to Mavericks I cannot select multiple addresses from my address book when forwarding emails.
    I can select them individually using the + sign in the address bar but cannot select any when I open my Contact list as I have done with previous systems.
    Additionly, the full address appears in the "To" window instead of just the name and without the email address. I have selected "Smart Address" from the Preferences menu, View section.
    Help!

    Why are you using a Hotmail or Live Mail SMTP server to send email with your Gmail account?
    This is likely the cause of the problem. Use Gmail's authenticated SMTP server to send email with your Gmail account.

  • Why doesn't my ical and address book no longer sync between the iphone4S and my MacBook?

    Can anyone explain why the new iphone doesn't sync back to my MacBook. My ical won't sync, nor will my address book when I make changes to either device? I just bought the phone today and no one at the Mac Store could provide any assistance. I was told that, "it's too new." and had to set up a call with tech support for next Tuesday. I need to work so if anyone could help with this that would be great!
    Thank you!

    I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?

  • HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

    I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
    I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

    You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
    If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

    Selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
