I have tried everything to try and eliminate having
outlook automatically add the area code to my phone
numbers when I add a new contact. Is there a way to
disable the automaticate insertion of this information so
I can add it manually when I choose to do so?

I'm using outlook 2002.

Thanks in advance.
 
I have a solution that you may find works for your problem.
I have been trying to add a local fax number to a contact
(using Outlook 2000) so I can fax to this contact using
Esker LanFax. If the contact was automatically adding the
area code to the number my faxes were failing. After hours
of research I have found that if you enter an = in front
of the number, the area code isn't added. My faxes went
out fine.
Please let me know if this worked for you in 2002.
Thanks

Thanks .. I tried your suggestion but it doesn't seem to
work with our fax solution

Thanks again
 
Try a '+', i.e. '+5555555'? I wouldn't think it would work except that
Outlook internally stores all of its fax numbers as ContactName@+1 (801)
555-5555. With a plus, it won't put the area code in... I just wonder if
it'll dial correctly.
