Outlook crashes when adding a phonenumber

[Simon Going]

Every time I try to store a phone number for a contact, outlook starts up the
"dial-up" guide. I have no modem connected to my computer so i try to turn
the guide off, but outlook starts it up again over and over again utnil I
close Outlook in the task manager.

I have a broadband connection to the computer.

How do I solve this?

I have the EXACT same problem and was about to make a post. This is driving
me nuts as well, someone please advise...

You still need to set your default area code for the operating system so
that Outlook will know how to format the phone number.
