Is "The Florida Sun" stored in a 'Company' or a 'Name' field?
(Whether a single field or First_Name, Last_Name. Sorry, but I don't
have/use Outlook so I don't know its fields or the names of them.)
ie, if you put "Jason Penn" in the First_Name field of one record
(leaving Last_Name blank) and put "Jasper Penn" in the Last_Name
field of another record (similarly leaving its First_Name field
blank) would the records end up on the Palm as "Penn Jason" and
"Penn Jasper"? If so, my guess is that either Outlook or
PocketMirror is responsible, and don't know if there are any
solutions other than lots of editing.
