SYMPTOMS
========

The Swedish International Call Prefix, which is used to call another country
from Sweden, was changed in September 1999 from "009" to "00".

When you use Dial-Up Networking with a location of Sweden, and you view a
phonebook entry or create a new phonebook entry that uses Telephony Dialing
properties, the resulting Phone Number Preview generates a phone number that
includes the "009" prefix, which is no longer valid.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to
systems experiencing this specific problem.

To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the
fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and
information on support costs, please go to the following address on the World

attributes or later:

  Date      Time    Size      File name     Platform

  29/10/99  19:08   243,472   tapisrv.exe   Alpha



To work around this issue, manually edit the Swedish International Dialing Prefix
from "009" to "00", before you dial.
