Default Outlook address book will not accept telephone number changes


I have a similar problem where every time I enter a new phone number in my
Outlook Contact, the location screen pops up and I cannot cancel the
operation, unless I exit Outlook. Any ideas how I can get rid of this
Location Window?

Thanks,

My outlook 2003 address book will not allow me to insert telephone
numbers.
The program goes into a loop caused by the LOCATION INFORMATION screen
asking
for Country and regional dial codes.
I can not enter a Country as the country field is blank. I can only exit
the
loop by ending outlook from the task manager.
I have tried repair also a complete re-install and a database repair by
using scanpst.exe
Nothing changes the problem HELP please

My dialing location is set properly but I cannot get rid of the pop up
location window. I carelly read all answers and followed the directions but I
cannot get rid of the Location window.

Then please state how you set your dialing location and how you confirmed it
is set correctly. Once it is set correctly, Outlook no longer prompts you
for that information.

I did the following:
-Control Panel -- Phone & Modem -- My Location -- Edit
The country in the drop down menu is correct - I am currently living in
Spain but the Location window in Outlook shows me the US as the default
location.

Thanks very much!
