They need to fix that. In a business, you should be able to enter that
information starting with the company name. The problem is that if the
business name contains more than one word, the bn will split things up
wrongly. I suppose if you knew you were searching for a business, you
should be able to search on company name, but it makes the database look
weird when entries are not properly represented.

The BN always requires a last name. I wish it didn't, because many of my
email addresses are to lists and listservs. Outlook Express lets you leave
the first and last name blank.
