Hello,

I'm considering making a custom form to distribute to my Outlook users for
sending faxes via our fax server application.

I would like to create a button that will bring up a list of all their
contacts (as designated via their Outlook Address Book) that have Fax numbers
defined. Then, as the select them, add a recipient address from the
contact's information in the format of ...

[RFAX:<DisplayName>@/FN=<FaxNumber>/CO=<Company>/VN=<BusinessPhone>]

Where there parameters inside the <> are pulled from the contact item.

Is this possible? Any direction would be appreciated.

THere are only two ways to do that in a custom form:

-- Develop and distribute an ActiveX control that displays the data you want.

-- Place a list box on a custom page to display the desired data.

An Outlook add-in probably would be a better solution than a custom form.
