When i try and save contacts phone numbers Outlook is dialling them
automatically. I use outlook 2007 at home and this isnt an issue, is there a way to stop the auto dial and to save my numbers? Any help appreciated. |

Outlook does not do this when configured correctly (nor has anyone ever
reported it). Provide Outlook version and precise steps to reproduce your problem, including how you configured your default dialing location for your OS. What you use at home is not relevant if that is not where the problem is occurring. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "keith666" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the reply, the upgrade was installed by IT dept (have asked them
to look into as well) Steps leading to problem: Open contacts under phone number fields input any number into any of the fields Try to click anywhere else (i.e. another blank field) This is when outlook is auto dialing. The only way to cancel this is to use task manager to cancel which shuts outlook. I am unsure if the configuration of dialing location, was hoping there was something simple.

What upgrade?
Behavior has not been reported, so you'll need to come up with precise information to reproduce the problem, including version, upgrade, error messages, Event Viewer, and telephony configuration information. Include your information store. In addition, since Outlook does not dial (ever), you need to be looking at add-ons. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "keith666" wrote in message ...

Any help appreciated.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Consider it reported now because I experience the identical problem! 1) Open Outlook 2) Click Contacts 3) Select ANY contact 4) Change ANY phone number (cell, home, business...) 5) Click Save: Dialog appears "requesting" (HA! more like "Requiring" but NOT allowing. isn't THAT odd?) the Country from which (I am) calling. - I AM NOT CALLING - I am attempting to change a phone number! Attempt to Cancel results in dialog "Windows needs telephone information about the location from which you will be calling... Are you sure you want to cancel?" Either Yes or NO results in the same loop - back to "requesting ...the Country from which..." And, to the previous author's point, the ONLY method to get out is via Task Manager! Real Bummer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still ... same problem. I hope you can help solve! Oh! Version info: Outlook 2003 (11.8206.8202 SP3. |

That's already well known behavior that is end user error, and is not what
the OP described. You failed to set your default dialing location, and Outlook must have that information so it knows how to mask your phone numbers. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "RJ" wrote in message ...
