Default bogus area code in contacts

How do I stop an autocomplete area code that's not correct? I don't put in an
area code for my local contacts and then Outlook autocompletes them with a
nearby but faulty area code. It also authomatically puts a (1) in front of
local phone numbers that have no area code and then I can't use the autodial
feature on my PDA because the "1" is bogus. Any ideas on how to stop this
from happening?
