I use Outlook for my appointments and Contact information. That Contact
information includes fax numbers.

I use Outlook Express as my e-mailer and only keep names and email addresses
in its address book.

When I try to send a Fax using the XP fax facility and click the Address
book button, I get the Outlook Express address book which doesn't have the
fax numbers in it.

Is there some way to point to the Outlook Contact information?

Thank you. By the way, you folks are great.

What mode, IMO or CW? I suspect the former. The second line of HelpAbout
will contain that information.

Outlook 2000 IMO uses the Windows Address Book for its contacts information.
Only in CW mode can you enable a Contacts folder in Outlook to be used as an
address book. I think you have to start in the Contacts folder of Outlook
in order to send a fax, but I'm not really familiar with faxing with OL
2000. I'd recommend you take a look at Russ Valentine's faxing page:

IMO as you suspected. I suspect in turn that this may not be a go. Thank you
Brian. I'll take a look at the Valentine page about faxing.

Thanks again.
