MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2005How do I close dialogs that open automatically in Office XP Profes
I have been trying to enter a name in my Outlook Contacts list. Every time I enter the phone number a dialog opens asking how I connect to the phone line. I am using a cable ISP, not phone lines. However I cannot close the dialog, no matter how many times I click cancel or try to close it. I always end up having to press C715-423-6343<Ctrl><Alt<Delete> and close outlook altogether. Have you set your dialing location for your operating system?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have been trying to enter a name in my Outlook Contacts list.

I am using a cable modem for my connection. This problem recently started? How do I set a dialing location anyway? And why? > Have you set your dialing location for your operating system? > >I have been trying to enter a name in my Outlook Contacts list.

If you reside on this planet, you have a dialing location. Just because you don't dial up over a phone line to connect to the Internet does not mean you don't make phone calls. Outlook assumes you do make phone calls and needs to know how you would like your phone numbers formatted so they can be dialed correctly. Accordingly, if Outlook does not know your dialing location you will force it into a state of deep confusion. Outlook may even fibrillate. Just play along and tell Outlook where you are. You did not state your operating system. In Windows XP you specify this in Control Panel > Phone and Modem options... It's much easier than defibrillating Outlook every time you have to enter a phone number. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I don't have a dialing location?
