The last time this question came up the only answer seemed to be that if you have a company name but no first/last, then it is a company. But I've never noticed any different icon for records created that way.
Maybe you (i.e. email@hidden) could have a look at the vcard data for those 'company' records and see if there is a field in there that makes it show up with a non-person icon?
It would be really nice if you could have 'company' vcards that you could just reference or link to from a 'person' card, so you don't have to enter (and maintain) the same information a dozen times for multiple people who work for the same company. Or maybe you can and I just missed it?

Simple question regarding the Address Book API, which I cannot seem to answer
looking at the docs or the interface files:

How do you distinguish between an AB Record that is a single person vs. one
that is a company or organization? Any given record can have both a person
first & last name, as well as a company name. The Address Book program can
set a record to be person (default) or a company (with a different icon in
the list). Is there a programming interface to this?

This is a very good question. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I hope some here does.
