    "Windows needs telephone information about the location from which you will be dialing. If you cancel without providing this information, this program may not function correctly when dialing. In addition, some applications respond to your canceling this dialog box by immediately re-posting it. Are you sure you want to cancel?" When are they going to kill that ridiculous Location Information dialog that appears whenever you try and enter a phone number in Outlook. And then reappears each time you try and kill it. Just let me store the number. I'm not going to use my computer to phone them. I don't need to store my country, area code and access number for an outside line. That's because I'm on a laptop. And I don't have an outside line. Cancel -> Confirm Cancel -> Cancel -> Confirm Cancel -> Cancel -> Confirm Cancel ... OK, Fine. I live in Wallis and Futuna and I have to dial the Letter E for an outside line.

    cheers, Chris Maunder

      I always say I live in Antarctica. I figure that's better since I won't be mistaken as Santa Claus. Marc

        THat has irritated me for a long time now, why do I need to do all this just to store someone's phone number in Outlook? I usually tell them I live somewhere in Zimbabwe :->
