Outlook... and space between +4X_xxxxxxxxx

[Guest jojoe]

If I store a number without any space eg.

+491705391XXX it is always stored as +49_1705391XXX.

If I use the number converter, it converts, if I close it, the space between the intl. code and the number comes back again.

Where the f... can I stop that? Isn't there any registry key in windows?

I use Outlook XP and the 2003 Beta both have the same problem.

It does the same thing on my pc, but why is it a problem?

Now starngely enough I have a different version of the bug:

it puts the space after british numbers +44 xxxxxxxxxxxx

but not after any others like my German numbers: +49xxxxxxxxx

Maybe outlook knows which country we are in from the windows

regional settings and somehow autoformats the homecountry's ones

like this!

JOE, does this happen just to your German numbers (Hau rein Landsmann),

or to others, too!

If it is like my theory suggests, we could just change our country in

windows or on the spv to Afghanistan or some other country that we

have no contacts from. As long as we keep our language and other

regional setting as our real home ones, this should not influence anything

negatively.

Haven't tried his though!

It can be a problem for example with the oncoming caller2picture apps,

which will only recognise exact numbers without spaces or for anything

else that deals with phone numbers.

for me, all i do is insert the number in outlook, and it will automatically add the +44 then a space, now, if i go back into that contact, remove the space and click save then it saves fine, it does remove the space and everything is hunkey-dorey

bit of a pain cos you have to go back into the contact, but it works

Works, but as you say, it is a pain, especially if you have lots of contacts,

which is why I haven't done it on all yet and came up with my idea above.

[Guest fraser]

If the picture apps etc are falling over, it's their own fault. You shouldn't be reliant on the user using a consistent format for the dates, that's stupid.

When comparing the numbers, the app should automatically strip the spaces from both, and possibly convert to a generic number, minus the country code or first 0. How many contacts do you have in different countries with the exact same number? :wink:

There is a registry key on desktop PC where it states which area code you are in and puts a space after that code. It is country default. The solution is here:

Thanks!

That should work!

I've tested the WhoCall app with numbers with spaces... it ignores them totally. Works fine with or without.

Good 'Ole Ceb... :lol: <==We need a proud Frenchie smiley, with a beret perhaps?

[Guest Coolboy1982]

Anyway, the registry tweak worked!

Just tried it

Thanks a lot! The Registry- Thing worked - problem is now gone forever. I have about 315 contacts and now I can sync them again with my Outlook.

Exact - the last picturecallapp or so was the reason -thx at all!

Another reason why this is a problem (on the SPV) is that it won't send an MMS to a contact saved like this. (Unless it was fixed in the update, I've not checked?)
