Send Mail Problem

[Tom]

When I want to send a new e-mail to someone and click on
the "to:" to bring up my contacts it gives me several
options for the same contac. ie e-mail, fax, phone ect.

How do I set outlook to just display the e-mail address
options so that I don't accidently pick the fax or other
option.

You can't. 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:
