probl using [FAX:0,021234567]
Hi,
We use fax feature with Small Business Server 2003 and Outlook 2007. We use to send fax using the address style [FAX:0,021234567] (we type it), the "," stands for a pause when accessing an external line to send the fax. It uses to work perfectly ... Since 2 weeks now (windows/office update?) when Outlook validate this fax address (underline of the address), it transforms the "," (coma) we typed by a ";" (semicolumn) and the fax fail to be send. Then we edit the address in the failed send fax and change the ";" by a "," and then it works. Any suggestion about this wrong validation by Outlook? Regards Phm |

This format is only used for one-off faxing. By which method are you sending
faxes? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Yves&Philippe" wrote in message ... Hi, We use fax feature with Small Business Server 2003 and Outlook 2007.

We send fax as described in our previous comment
- in outlook new message - in the "TO:" address of the message we type [FAX:0,021234567] (it was working perfectly for more then 2 years and now it stopped) - the exchange server of the small business server send the fax through the fax card THE PROBLEM is : [FAX:0,021234567] is changed by [FAX:0;021234567] when clicking send in the message, and this happens only since few weeks.

Start by clearing your autocompletion cache.
Why would you not create and use a Contact Record for Fax recipients and dialing rules if you want to fax from Outlook? Why use a one-off address each time? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Yves&Philippe" wrote in message ...

Why not answer the question instead of raising irrelevant quibbles?

I did answer the question. The one-off format is used for programmatic
faxing. It may not work as expected when faxing directly because the autocompletion feature may not be able to store and recognize this format correctly. I'll look forward the better answer that I'm sure meant to provide instead of useless criticism. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mozzis" wrote in message ...
