Fax entries

[JOHNNY P]

Outlook 2003 Exchange 2003
When I am sending a message, and I click the TO: button,
browse to the contacts there are all my contacts with
email address and along with that there is another entry
for the same people with fax numbers. Is there a way to
prevent the fax numbers from showing up in this view.

Thanks

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
