Re: fax problems with Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2007 database

Specify what Contacts you see when you open the Fax program directly instead of programmatically. You appear not to have configured the correct Outlook Contacts Folder as the default for your OS. Once you do, XP Fax will use those Contacts.
The integration of Outlook 2007 with the fax module is the same in XP as in Vista. Nothing was changed there.

I recently purchased a new Dell computer. The operating system is Windows XP
Pro. I also purchased the OEM version of Microsoft Office 2007 (small
business) I have used the XP fax program before with no problems but with
older versions of Microsoft Office. I use Microsoft Word alot and typically
generate flyers that I send to customers that I have been saving in my
Outlook address book. When I open a word file and select print, the drop
down box appears that allows me to select a printer or the fax program. I
select fax and the program opens normally as I'm used to. When it promps me
to select a recipient I click the tab that accesses my Outlook database and
selct the recipients I want. I keep moving forward and everything up to this
point is working perfectly until I get to the final tab that allows me to
send the fax. Normally, the program screen opens and the program loads all
the recipients in the pending box. Instead, the program doesn't open at all
and I have to go to the program file screen to open the fax program and only
a very small amount (if any) of the recipients I chose are lised and it's
like the whole fax program is in pause mode. I suspect some kind of setting
or compatibility issue between Outlook 2007 and the XP Pro fax program but I
don't know what. I used this program with a previous version of Outlook
(2003) with no problems whatsoever. Any help that you can provide would be
greatly appreciated. One last comment I have. One person I spoke to said
that Outlook 2007 was designed to work hand in hand with Vista and that the
fax program might not properly recognise my Outlook data base because of
this. Is there any truth to this?

Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.
