Any Contact with any type of electronic address will appear in the Outlook
Address Book. Fax numbers are electronic addresses. Your problem will have
one of the cause I have already mentioned. In addition, which fax program
you are using and how you integrated with Outlook are in play. You have

This sounds similar to a problem I'm having. I think I understand what
Sandra is wanting. You don't necessarily have to have email addresses in
your contacts, or at least you didn't used to have to. Suppose you are
using your contacts for other purposes, like faxing only? This is what I'm
trying to do now.

I have several contacts in my contacts folder for sending business faxes,
most of them do not have email addresses associated. When I use the Fax
wizard, I used to be able to select these names from the "Address book "
button on the Send Fax Wizard. I've done this several times in the past.
However, now I'm getting similar results as Sandra I have 123 contacts in
this address book and only 21 of them are sowing up. And some of those are
ARE showing up, do not have and email address associated at all.

I'm running Office Profession Edition 2003 SP2

What you describe is not a known Outlook problem. It appears to be an end
user problem. Are you saving these Contacts to the same folder you are
displaying? Use Folder List view to see how many Contact folders you have
in
your profile.

Hi. I'm having a similar problem as Sandra described.

I'm only able to view a select number of contacts when attempting to send a
fax using the Windows Fax program (Start - Accessories - Communications -
Fax - Send a Fax). I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (11.6359.8107)
SP1 to manage my contacts. I have One hundred and Twenty three contacts in
my contacts view. I select Address Book from the "Send Fax Wizard"
application as described above, and in the field listed "Show Names from
the:" I choose "Contacts" which is listed under "Outlook Address Book". The
result is a list of only twenty one of the one hundred and twenty three
contacts that I
have in my Outlook Contacts list. Some of these twenty one entries list the
"email type" as "SMTP" while most list is as "FAX"

From what I can tell, the other one hundred and two entries have the same
fields populated.

Also to further clarify. The same twenty one entries appear when trying to
compose a new email message and clicking the "To" button (which displays the
"Select Names" window). I also cannot type ahead in the "To:" field and
have any of the other one hundred and two names resolve to their display
names.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

I have to go through all my entries and open and resave the fax number so
that the +1 is listed in their number. I presumed this is what you mean as
a "qualified electronic address"? If so, that could be clarified a bit for
the novice.

I am curious though why the entries that did work, didn't need to be
"qualified" I don't have a +1 in front of any of their numbers.

Thanks again.

Susan,

Hope this fixes your issue as well if you're trying to fix this. To be
clear what I'm doing is opening my contacts up one at a time. Then clicking
the button that reads "Business Fax" or "Home Fax" (not the arrow next to
the title) then when the "Check Phone Number" window appears I just hit OK
and the number updated with the +1 before it.

not have a valid resolved electronic address (frequent if you imported any
of these Contacts) or resides in a Contact Folder other than the one you are
displaying. As a test, you should recreate a Contact that does not appear as
you think it should and see if it then appears.
2. Your Outlook Address Book Service is corrupt. Remove it, restart Outlook,
re-add it.

Autocompletion does not use your Contacts, so that behavior is expected.

Let's try this again...

Hi. I'm having a similar problem as Sandra described.

I'm only able to view a select number of contacts when attempting to send
a fax using the Windows Fax program (Start - Accessories -
Communications - Fax - Send a Fax). I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook
2003 (11.6359.8107) SP1 to manage my contacts. I have One hundred and
Twenty three contacts in my contacts view. I select Address Book from the
"Send Fax Wizard" application as described above, and in the field listed
"Show Names from the:" I choose "Contacts" which is listed under "Outlook
Address Book". The result is a list of only twenty one of the one hundred
and twenty three contacts that I
have in my Outlook Contacts list. Some of these twenty one entries list
the "email type" as "SMTP" while most list is as "FAX"

From what I can tell, the other one hundred and two entries have the same
fields populated.

Also to further clarify. The same twenty one entries appear when trying
to compose a new email message and clicking the "To" button (which
displays the "Select Names" window). I also cannot type ahead in the
"To:" field and have any of the other one hundred and two names resolve to
their display names.

Thanks for clarifing that. I wasn't aware fax numbers were generally
considered electronic addresses.

I'm using the Fax program native in Windows XP. I've done nothing to
actually "intergrate" it with Outlook.

This sounds similar to a problem I'm having. I think I understand what
Sandra is wanting. You don't necessarily have to have email addresses
in your contacts, or at least you didn't used to have to. Suppose you
are using your contacts for other purposes, like faxing only? This is
what I'm trying to do now.

I have several contacts in my contacts folder for sending business
faxes, most of them do not have email addresses associated. When I use
the Fax wizard, I used to be able to select these names from the
"Address book " button on the Send Fax Wizard. I've done this several
times in the past.
However, now I'm getting similar results as Sandra I have 123 contacts
in this address book and only 21 of them are sowing up. And some of
those are ARE showing up, do not have and email address associated at
all.

I'm running Office Profession Edition 2003 SP2

What you describe is not a known Outlook problem. It appears to be an
end

displaying? Use Folder List view to see how many Contact folders you
have in

Nevermind. I figured it out.

I have to go through all my entries and open and resave the fax number so
that the +1 is listed in their number. I presumed this is what you mean
as a "qualified electronic address"? If so, that could be clarified a bit
for the novice.

I am curious though why the entries that did work, didn't need to be
"qualified" I don't have a +1 in front of any of their numbers.

Thanks again.

Susan,

Hope this fixes your issue as well if you're trying to fix this. To be
clear what I'm doing is opening my contacts up one at a time. Then
clicking the button that reads "Business Fax" or "Home Fax" (not the arrow
next to the title) then when the "Check Phone Number" window appears I
just hit OK and the number updated with the +1 before it.

That's because I had assumed you had already created Contacts with valid,
resolved addresses. Remember, I asked you to check that? That's why I then
suggested you create a new Contact from scratch to see if we could
troubleshoot exactly where the problem was occurring. Once you said that
opening and saving a Contact made it appear, I was able to deduce you had
not yet created valid Contacts, and the most common reason that occurs is by
importing your Contacts.
I didn't want other readers to think that the country code is needed to make
fax numbers valid. It isn't.
Unfortunately, importing data into Outlook is fraught with difficulties.
It's best to avoid it if you can. Only import if you must convert from a
foreign file format, and if you do you'll need to go through and resolve
electronic addresses yourself.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

I have to go through all my entries and open and resave the fax number
so that the +1 is listed in their number. I presumed this is what you
mean as a "qualified electronic address"? If so, that could be
clarified a bit for the novice.

I am curious though why the entries that did work, didn't need to be
"qualified" I don't have a +1 in front of any of their numbers.

Thanks again.

Susan,

Hope this fixes your issue as well if you're trying to fix this. To be
clear what I'm doing is opening my contacts up one at a time. Then
clicking the button that reads "Business Fax" or "Home Fax" (not the
arrow next to the title) then when the "Check Phone Number" window
appears I just hit OK and the number updated with the +1 before it.

Let's try this again...

Hi. I'm having a similar problem as Sandra described.

I'm only able to view a select number of contacts when attempting to
send a fax using the Windows Fax program (Start - Accessories -
Communications - Fax - Send a Fax). I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook
2003 (11.6359.8107) SP1 to manage my contacts. I have One hundred and
Twenty three contacts in my contacts view. I select Address Book from
the "Send Fax Wizard" application as described above, and in the field
listed "Show Names from the:" I choose "Contacts" which is listed under
"Outlook Address Book". The result is a list of only twenty one of the
one hundred and twenty three contacts that I
have in my Outlook Contacts list. Some of these twenty one entries
list the "email type" as "SMTP" while most list is as "FAX"

From what I can tell, the other one hundred and two entries have the
same fields populated.

Also to further clarify. The same twenty one entries appear when
trying to compose a new email message and clicking the "To" button
(which displays the "Select Names" window). I also cannot type ahead
in the "To:" field and have any of the other one hundred and two names
resolve to their display names.

Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (11.6359.8107) SP1

Thank you in advance for your kind attention and support!

Clarify the problem you are having and in which address book.

Thanks for clarifing that. I wasn't aware fax numbers were generally
considered electronic addresses.

I'm using the Fax program native in Windows XP. I've done nothing to
actually "intergrate" it with Outlook.

This sounds similar to a problem I'm having. I think I understand
what
Sandra is wanting. You don't necessarily have to have email
addresses
in your contacts, or at least you didn't used to have to. Suppose
you
are using your contacts for other purposes, like faxing only? This
is
what I'm trying to do now.

I have several contacts in my contacts folder for sending business
faxes, most of them do not have email addresses associated. When I
use
the Fax wizard, I used to be able to select these names from the
"Address book " button on the Send Fax Wizard. I've done this
several
times in the past.
However, now I'm getting similar results as Sandra I have 123
contacts
in this address book and only 21 of them are sowing up. And some of
those are ARE showing up, do not have and email address associated
at
all.

I'm running Office Profession Edition 2003 SP2

As I said, use "Save and Close." Do not exit without saving.
What you describe is not a known Outlook problem. It appears to be
an
end
user problem. Are you saving these Contacts to the same folder you
are
displaying? Use Folder List view to see how many Contact folders
you
have in
your profile.

I didn't add the +1. Simply opening each contact and saving them
automatically put the +1 in.

Yes these contact are imported. They were copied from a different PC.

I don't see where it was mentioned previously that we should open and
save
each entry.

Again, thanks for you assistance. Happy New Year

Adding +1 is not necessary. I gave you the answer is in my other post.
However you created these contacts, you did not resolve the addresses.

Usually that happens when you import Contacts. All that is required to

resolve the address is to Open and Save the Contact Record.
