Whenever I try to modify the telephone numbers of a contact in the Contacts
folder, Outlook 2003 will not allow a '+' sign to be prefixed to the numbers
as it did before.

Why is this and is there a fix for it?

Many thanks

Have you configured Outlook to add the country code in Dialing options...?

Hi Russ, Thanks for your swift reply.

I have tried everything I know, (Which isn't much!) but each thing I try,
the program still won't allow me to add the plus sign, which I need to
configure numbers for my mobile phone synchronisation software.

If you have any other ideas, I would be delighted to hear from you again.

Yours, TSM

Can you tell me what you tried?
You reach Outlook's dialing options in Contacts > Actions > Call Contact >
New Call...
Is your dialing location set correctly?

In the Dialling Options dialog box, the only button I have to configure is
the "Dialling Properties" button.
When I press that, it brings up "Phone and Modem Options"
What am I supposed to enter there? It has one entry, "Home" when I click
Edit, the country region is set to UK, correct, and the Area Code to 020,
again correct for London. I can't see anything else that I should change.

I haven't had any problems entering the + sign up until now, but for some
reason, Outlook decided that it didn't like the idea and deletes any plus
sign I now try to enter. I really am perplexed.

You aren't looking where I told you to.
Reread my post.
