Cannot fax a tif file attachment with Outlook 2003 using SBS 2003 Fax Services
Within Outlook 2003 I am trying to sending an email to a fax contact
with a TIF file as an attachment. I get the following response The Microsoft Fax transport failed to deliver the message to the recipient. The message body cannot be printed If I do the same with a TXT file attachment it works fine. I understand that this will only work if there is a printto verb for the TIF file association, the one I am using is ... rundll32.exe C:\Windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4" Configuration : Server - Windows SBS 2003 Client - Outlook 2003 on XP SP2 Any ideas gratefully received |

Cannot fax a tif file attachment with Outlook 2003 using SBS 2003 Fax Services
Just an additional note
If I send a TIF file to the Fax printer it launches the Fax wizard and this works OK, so can I assume my printto verb is working OK and there is something amiss within Outlook ? Also looking at other posts on this subject, my MSPaper.Document printto verb is set to the rundll32.exe ...... as in my original post |

Cannot fax a tif file attachment with Outlook 2003 using SBS 2003 Fax Services
Thanks for the link Russ, but I've tried your suggestion of making sure
the printto verb is present in the MSPaper.Document registry setting But still no joy faxing TIF attachments. Looking at the registry, my settings for the printto verb are MSPaper.Document/shell/printto/command and the (Default) value is set to the rundll32.exe ........ command However when I look at the print and open verbs, they both have an additional multi string value named command, in the case of the print verb this is set to Q9oWVn-}f(ZXfeAR6.jiMSOfficeDocumentImagingsY1UIp^8o?=6k GH_0WrJ /p "%1" Should the printto verb have anything similar? In addition, is there anyway to get a more detailed error message? |

What I posted has always worked as far as I know. The most obvious
difference in your situation is that you are using SBS Shared Fax service, so some of these settings may need to be made at the server level, not the client. I've never had the occasion to use SBS. I doubt you'll find any other information on this. No work is being done in this area. Fax integration with Outlook is dead. It's probably time you start looking for alternatives. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message oups.com...
