Russ, I am using XP Professional and Outlook 2003 (with BCM). For the last
year or so I have been entering phone numbers without the STD codes, which is
exactly how I like it. However, following a hard disk failure and having to
reload all my software, I now always get those blasted STD codes in
parenthesis. There is obviously a way of avoiding them as I had been doing it
for ages, but can't remember how!

Can you help?

You can't. Masking of phone numbers is hard coded and based on your default
dialing location.
