Location Information

[Lanny]

Having trouble with entering new contacts. This is a brand new install of 03
office. Whenever I enter a persons phone # in the contacts screen after I try
and save it I get a pop up with "location information" in the header. It
looks like it is asking for my local area code and such as if it were to use
this info to dial phone #'s. It gives me a drop down menu for county/regions
that is blank when you click it and it wont let me type in any of the other
fields. If I close out of this I get a reoccuring pop up that I can't get rid
of unless manually ending the program from the task manager. Anyone know how
to disable this so I can utilize the contacts fully???

You need to enter your location information in order for Outlook to properly
mask the telephone number such as (555) 555-5555 rather than 5555555555.

Unfortunately it wont let me type anything in any of the fields. Turns out it
was something was corrupt. Comp tech did some work on it. reinstalling today.
