Unable to search for telephone numbers in Contacts...

[Ian R]

Hi

I'm using OL2002 SP3.

Should OL be able to include data from the telephone number fields when
doing a search?

I've been trying to search for contact names by putting in a part of a
telephone number. The result says nothing found.

But if I search for the contact by name the contact is found and it shows
the exact sequence of numbers in the telephone number field I originally
searched for.

I realise the 12 3456 is not the same as 123 456.

Should it be able to search telephone numbers?

Thanks for any info.

Ian

use advanced find and search in the phone # field (Advanced tab).

Thanks Diane.

I'm very grateful for you taking the time.

Embarrassed that I didn't look through the menus harder!
