Outlook 2007 Contact Phone Number
I am unable to enter / save new phone or fax numbers into my Contacts without
OL 2007 telling me I have to enter my Location information for dialing the Phone / Fax numbers. I do NOT use a dial-up or any other form of telephone dialing software. How can I turn this off? Thanks -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

Outlook 2007 Contact Phone Number
You can't. Just do what it tells you to. You are getting the prompt because
Outlook doesn't know how to format your phone numbers until you tell it where you are. So set your dialing location for the operating system. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rev Anderson" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 Contact Phone Number
I had already accomplished that, when I did the initial install. I added new
contacts last week without this popping up. Was there some kind of update, or is this one of the quirks of Vista? -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

Neither. State how you set the dialing location for your OS.

Outlook 2007 Contact Phone Number
Thanks
I do not remember exactly how the Location was specified. My system had crashed and I had to build a new one FAST. I had already been using Outlook Contacts, inputing changes and new Contacts. Then that dialog box started popping up yesterday. That's why I am wondering if this is a Quirk which will be popping up every now and again? If so, then how do I keep it from happening. -- Life is an adventure with God leading. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Neither.

Outlook 2007 Contact Phone Number
I already answered that question. As I said, it will keep happening until
you set your default dialing location. That is not an Outlook setting. It's an operating system setting you access in Control Panel Phone and Modem Options... (in Classic View). -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Rev Anderson" wrote in message ... Thanks I do not remember exactly how the Location was specified.
