MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2005How can I enter phone numbers without setting up a connection?
Everytime I enter a phone number for my contacts, the wizard pops up and say that I have to establish a conncetion and when I try and cancel that or say no, Outlook will not respond and I have to shut it down. Is it trying to connect to the Internet or just have you setup your modem properties (Outlook uses some of the TAPI properties when setting up things in contacts) > Everytime I enter a phone number for my contacts, the wizard pops up and > say > that I have to establish a conncetion and when I try and cancel that or > say > no, Outlook will not respond and I have to shut it down. My internet connection comes and goes here but it is not trying to connect. It asks me questions like the area code I am in now, if I have to dial a number to access outside line, which I don't, and it asks if we use pulse or tone dial here. When I hit cancel, it says that it needs telephone information about the location from which i am dialing. > Is it trying to connect to the Internet or just have you setup your modem > properties (Outlook uses some of the TAPI properties when setting up things [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > say > > no, Outlook will not respond and I have to shut it down.

Like I said our internet comes and goes and I don't want it to go away completly. I am not sure what to enter in the fields or anything like that. > If you go all the way through the dialog does it come up again? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > tone dial here.

It asked me for a specific carrier code and what the number was to access the outside line. All I did was enter the area code and it seems to be working. Do you think i will have any problems with it? > What fields don't you know about? The area code should be easy. > > >I have not tried.

Do you know about colors of holidays in the calendar? I want to be able to bold, or use another color, of the date navigator calendar. As it is right now, the only dates that are bold are the ones I have appts. scheduled for. Is there any way to have the holidays show up in bold or a different color? > Nope, I doubt you'll have problems. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > working. > > Do you think i will have any problems with it? Set the holiday as "Busy" time to get them bolded. > Thnk you very much, it works great.

Many businesses have switchboards or PBXs that require a person to dial a digit (like "9") in order to obtain an outside line. Home users rarely need this, so enter nothing. If you have a carrier code (like 1010-220 for long distance), enter it. If you just dial a "1" for long distance, just leave it empty.  SignatureBrian Tillman |
