SYMPTOMS

This problem occurs when you use the Dutch-language version of Outlook 2002 to view contacts that were created in a version of Outlook that is not Dutch. If the contact was created in a Dutch version of Outlook, the fields are wrong when it is viewed in any version of Outlook that is not Dutch.

CAUSE

The Dutch version of Outlook 2002 maps the fields as follows:
  1. It maps the City to the PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE property.
  2. It maps the ZIP code to the PR_LOCALITY property.
  3. It maps the State/Province to the PR_POSTAL_CODE.
