duplicate contact information

[Andre]

Hi,

Outlook 2000, SR1

I am trying to send an email using my contact list. Some
of the contacts are displaying two names... Bill Smith(E-
mail) & Bill Smith(Business Fax). I only have one contact
with that name and it has a "Business Fax" phone number
entered. How can I get rid of the Business Fax entry that
is showing up when sending a mail message without deleting
the actual phone number in the contact?

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:
