I have Outlook 2007.
When adding a contact, all is fine till I add the business phone number.
I immediately get a popup: Location Information asking for my specific phone
information.
When I click cancel (I am on broadband, not dial up) I get a confirmation
screen. I click 'Yes' to confirm and the Location Information window closes.
Then it immediately pops back up asking for the same information.

How can I get rid of this? This acts like a bug as it will not let me
proceed until I fill in my phone info even after confirming I wish to cancel.

To get out of this, I have to canel Outlook from Task Manager.

Help?

You need to complete the Location Information details rather than cancel it.

Thanks, but I wanted to cancel, not complete. The process forces completion
with no opt-out ability.
As I have several phone numbers and work in multiple states, this info is of
no use to me and too limiting. Besides, I don't want to enter it.

It won't work unless you enter the details.

you can set up different rules for different area codes. Are you going to
dial from outlook? If not, the dialing config won't matter anyway.
(according to your broadband comment, it seems not)
