"BusinessFax" in To field?

Is there a way to prevent Outlook (XP) from resolving
names in the "To:" field as "BusinessFax" listings when
there is no valid email address for them in the address
book?

Thanks,
Amy
 
The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to resolve to all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the inclusion 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:
