Thanks for the reply. I have ried this manually (copy the nuber delete the
original and paste back into the field, but with 1300 + contacts each with 2
or more phone numbers thats not a task I really want to do. I was wondering
if there's a way to force the fields to reset themselves to the new defaults.
