Having no success adding contacts and having them indexed upon adding. They all appear at the top of the View regardless of what their first letters/numbers are. Did a backup and restore to no avail. HELP. Does anyone have an answer?

Your title says "company list," but your body says "contacts." What do you mean "indexed?"

Are you talking about a company search not including contacts? If so, you need to check the "contacts" box when you search for companies. I posted simple autohotkey code to do a company search including contacts in one keystroke.

But please clarify your question.

Sorry for being so inarticulate. It is actually adding "Companies" to the main database. Then when I select "Default Address Book View" and select "All Companies and Individuals" all my original companies and individuals are indexed by NAME. But any companies I have added since the origianl import from Goldmine 6.7 stay at the top of the list. For instance: Zebulaon Industries appears ahead of ATV Associates.

Ouch...that's tricky. Are the new entries added in Maximizer sorted properly amongst themselves?

I'm going to guess that there's a problem with the imports from Goldmine, rather than your new additions. Focusing on that end, are you sure there's no space or anything in front of the Goldmine imports?

GoBlue, you are correct, but it's backward. Each of the entries I have added has a space in front of it. Don't know why, but removing the space cured the problem.

Thanks.

If an entry contains a space ' ' at the start of its name that space messes up the alphabetical sorting as it makes ' z' appear before 'a' as ' ' counts as being closer to the start.

I would guess either the original data contained spaces at the start or the import routine itself mis-read the data and inserted the space.

I'm glad you've managed to get it sorted though.
