MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006Question regarding FAX through Outlook 2003
Hi Is it possible to send a fax through Outlook 2003 without having to add a contact with the fax number? I just need to type in the fax number in the "To" field. Hope you can help me! Best regards Lasse It all depends on your Fax software, which you did not include in your post. If you need to have something integrate with Outlook for faxing, then I would check that products specifications for the answer.

After furious head scratching, Lf@mrc.dk asked: | Hi | [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] | Best regards | Lasse I don't have any fax program installed other than the Microsoft Fax service. It's because we need to integrate fax through e-mail with Microsoft C5. So when the customer pushes Fax in C5 it automatically opens a mail with the fax number and the attached file from C5. The problem is that if we use "Mailto: <Faxnumber>" it won't work because it isn't associated with a contact. Does this make any sense? /Lasse > It all depends on your Fax software, which you did not include in your > post.

It can also integrate with several Internet Fax providers. You'll need to provide a more accurate description of how you want to fax. What do you mean by fax through email?

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> | Best regards >> | Lasse I want to be able to push a button called "FAX" in Microsoft C5 and when it's pushed it should open a mail with a faxnumber in the recipient field and a .PDF file as an attachment. When I do this I can't send it because the faxnumber I have entered isn't associated with a contactperson. The fax service is installed on a Windows 2003 Small Business Server and it works fine if I select a contactperson with a faxnumber. You say it requires one-off format which is Fax:nnnnnnnn, but if I open a mail and type Fax:nnnnnnnn it won't work. Hope this is enough information for you.

Programmatic faxing uses the format I posted. It will also work when you type it in the To: field. Did you used the brackets?
