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

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?

Doesn't sound similar at all. The other post had nothing to do with a mail

OK. Help me understand your comment.
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.
