Default Country defaults to United Kingdom

OK, I was at a client office this afternoon and she was complaining about
here addresses being set to United Kingdom.

The settings for the regional settings are

Regional Options - Standards & Formats - English (Canada)
....Location - Canada
Languages - n/a
Advanced - non-Unicode - English (Canada)
....Code Page conv. tables - 10000(MAC - Roman)


Using view - arrange by - current view - location I can see the entires
that are set to UK. I can change them all to Canada by dragging them to
the Canada group but as soon as I shutdown and restart outlook they all
revert back to UK.

I exported the address book to excel, fixed all visible problems, set the
country to Canada.
I blew away all the entires in the contact list and imported the excel
sreadsheet. Worked great until Outlook restarted and then the country was
back to UK.

I can't find where on earth this is set as everything I have tried is set
to Canada.

Any ideas?
