Stop 'Business Fax' entry in 'Select Names' window - How?

Migrated to Outlook 2003 from Outlook 2000.

Any Contact with a Business Fax entry shows twice in the 'Select Names'
window when composing an email.

Is it possible to suppress the Business Fax lines and only show email
address lines?

The Outlook Address Book has always done this. The migration has nothing to
do with it.
Outlook considers fax numbers to be valid electronic addresses, since there
are many client- and server-based components that can use such addresses.

One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax
number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for
other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the
address book.

There are a couple of utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the
address book. See http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/rshifa.htm and
http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers).

Another way to avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is
simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other
(non-phone) fields.
