outlook 2000 and email/ business fax problem
Hi
Has anyone run into the problem when creaing an email message and inserting an email address from the contacts folder, if the contact (Jane Does) has a business fax filled in, the message inserts a business fax instead of the email address. THanks Linda |

Normal behavior. What did you expect it to do?
Outlook considers fax numbers to be valid electronic addresses, since there are many client- and server-based components that can use such addresses. One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the address book. This definitely works in Outlook 2000 and 2002. There are a couple of utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the address book. See http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/rshifa.htm and http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers). Another way to avoid avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other (non-phone) fields. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "lxxgrrl" wrote in message om...
