Hi,

I use a Canon multifunction device to fax directly from my computer. The fax
driver reads my contacts from Outlook 2003.

My problem is that when I add a contact in Outlook and I type the 7 digits
fax number, my area code is added automatically before the fax number. When
I try to delete it, it comes back automatically.

I DO NOT want the area code in the fax number, because it makes my fax
machine dial it even though it is not needed (local call).

If I try to delete the area code from Control Panel | Modem applet, I have a
message saying "You must enter an area code".

Does someone know how to edit the area code setting in Control Panel through
the registry ?

Any other ideas ?

Thank  you.
