That would be a question for Brother. In theory, third party vendors can
provide you with the ability to connect their software to the Outlook
Address Service but few seem to.
The only Fax Services with which Outlook 2007 can integrate directly are
Windows XP Fax, Vista Fax and Scan (which obviously you don't have with
Vista Home), and the various Internet Fax Services that support Office 2007.

Russ-

The Brother software has something called PC-Fax.
It sits as a printer. When documents are sent to this printer a dashboard
appears where I type in the fax number and click send.
The dashboard looks like the manual fax machine. I am sending from a file
rather than thru the hardcopy process.

But I really want to be able to use the Outlook address book and keep a
copy
ie sent items.

Understand Vista Home Premium does not have microsoft scan and fax and HP
does not recommend any other version of Vista on its Laptops. At least
the
one I have.

There has to be a way to assign some sort of account in outlook 2007 that
sends to the Brother MFC.

Any ideas appreciated.

Cannot get Outlook to recognize fax. So each fax has to go thru a
print
driver and I have to type in each fax number each time.
Have searched online for weeks - no options. Any ideas how to fax a
doc
using the outlook and this hi-tech hardware to work together?
(many of my contacts require fax rather than email. Fairly active
volume.
On line faxing seems to be just as complex as using print driver.)

Thanks for any suggestions.
