What change did you make to the key? Does the Canon software work now?

I edited the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Telephony\Locations\Location0\AreaCode
value and now I can enter fax numbers without the area code.

Thanks.

You can't change how Outlook masks phone numbers. If your Canon

Hi,

I use a Canon multifunction device to fax directly from my computer.
The fax driver reads my contacts from Outlook 2003.

My problem is that when I add a contact in Outlook and I type the 7
digits fax number, my area code is added automatically before the
fax number. When I try to delete it, it comes back automatically.

I DO NOT want the area code in the fax number, because it makes my
fax machine dial it even though it is not needed (local call).

If I try to delete the area code from Control Panel | Modem applet,
I have a message saying "You must enter an area code".

Does someone know how to edit the area code setting in Control Panel
through the registry ?

Any other ideas ?

Thank you.
