That did the trick. It didnt occur to me that I needed to run outlook as an
administrator, as I am logged onto windows using an administrator account.
Anyway thanks for your help.

I can send single faxes using windows fax and scan, can you tell me what I
should be looking for? Could it be something to do with the new security
features in Vista?

Thanks for your reply,
I am using vista ultimate with windows fax and scan, I am trying to
enable
fax mail transport to do a mail merge to fax, to send send faxes to
multiple
recipients using outlook contacts. I tried to add fax mail transport by
going
to :- control panel/mail/ email accoumts/new/ other/fax mail transport.
The
store is outlook.pst which contains a pop3 email account, two hotmail
accounts and a lycomail account. Hope this is enough info.
Regards

State the steps you are using.
