Business fax and duplicate records

I run OL 2002 and when I put in a business fax number and
save the record, I end up with a duplicate record when I
go to select a namne from the To... button. It lists the
duplicate as the name with business fax after it. Anyone
have a fix?
 
The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
