In Dialing Properties dialog the country/region box is blank

You can edit the registry to add a location.

Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations

If you do not see a su key "Location1" you need to create one.
Add a new key and named it "Location1".

Add the following registry values:

REG_SZ - AreaCode = You Area Code Number
REG_DWORD - Country = 1
REG_SZ - DisableCallWaiting
REG_DWORD - Flags = 1
REG_SZ - InternationalCarrierCode
REG_SZ - LongDistanceAccess
REG_SZ - LongDistanceCarrierCode
REG_SZ - Name = My Location
REG_SZ - OutsideAccess

This should do it. Exit the registry and go to: Contron Panel --> Phone
And Modem Options.
Now you should be able to see your created location.

After doing this outlook will not prompt you to select the
country/region.

Thanks for the advice. I've got over the endless loop Outlook gets into, now
that there is an entry there. Perhaps you could tell me how to get the
'country/region' name in the pull down menu when you try enter the 'Edit
Location' page
