MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006Zipcode<-->Country flip
About 76 out of ~2000 of my Contacts have the Zipcode and Country flipped, but not in all views. In list view they are inverted, but if I open the Contact card and look at the Address in detail, the field content appears correctly. Curiously, this does not propagate to my BlackBerry, or to CardScan - each of these has the correct mapping, but I can no longer sort within Outlook reliably. When this first appeared, I corrected all of them. Well, a few days later, it's baaaack. Any help appreciated aforehand... Do you have your operating system's Regional and Language settings set correctly?

View -> By Location shows the 76 entries with Zip Codes in the Country/Region column. Double-clicking on any of these the Contact entries to open it, and then looking at the "General" tab -> Addresses and clicking on the detail button (Business... or Home...) shows values in correct fields. Even under the "All Fields" tab -> "All Contact Fields" all values show in the correct fields. Thanks for follow-up, nice feedback system.

Never seen this described nor can I reproduce it. Something seems to have corrupted these Contacts. Importing is the most common way to corrupt Contacts. Do you think these Contacts might have been imported?

This problem is similar to Karl Berger's 12/12 post in this forum regarding a Word merge that was inserting Zipcodes into the Country field. End result there also was your recommendation to look at import corruption, but there is no update on that thread from Berger. On my end, the source of these cards is mixed. Not all imports suffer from this, and some cards created _within_ Outlook 2003 exhibit the behaviour. Can I send/post an example card somewhere?

The other post had nothing to do with a mail merge. Start at the beginning with a clear description of your problem.

Nope. You are obviously too busy to reply courteously. Get some help. Signature#######22230 > Doesn't sound similar at all. The other post had nothing to do with a mail > merge.

You post a question completely unrelated to the rest of the thread with no details whatsoever that would permit an answer. Yet you expect an answer. I ask you to clarify your question. And I'm the discourteous one. We seem to have a fundamentally different idea of how peer to peer newsgroups work. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Nope.
