I am not sure what you mean by filter. Is this for outlook or for excel?
are there step-by-step directions?

Thanks Gordon

you'll need to edit each one or use a VBA script to remove them in outlook.
see if outlookcode.com has any sample code.

I just had the same problem. Here's a solution I found on several web sites:

While in Outlook's contact list, change the view to "By Location"
(View-Current View-By Location). Now select one or more of the contacts
with USA in the "Country/Region" field and drag them to a contact with a
blank "Country/Region" field. The "Country/Region" will be changed to blank,
but the rest of the information will not be altered.

You have to use the "By Location" view - sorting them by the country field
in a different view won't work the same way!

Good luck,
Oscar
