Default MS Fax doesn't see Outlook 2003 contacts

I imported all of my contacts directly from Access 2003. I see them fine
when using Outlook. However when using MS Fax I click on the Address Book
link and it doesn't see any of my imported contacts. It does see all of my
contacts that were inputted manually.
I can't figure out why or if I did something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Windows XP Home

A couple of things you need to check. First, clarify which fax program you
are using. State what program you have set as your default program for
managing Contacts for your operating system. Finally, importing Contacts
often fails to resolve the electronic addresses. If your fax numbers are not
resolved, they will not appear in the address book until you resolve them
(usually requires opening and Saving each Contact Record).

Thanks for responding.
I state in the title that I am using MS or Microsoft Fax.
Not sure what you mean by "State what program you have set as your default
program for managing Contacts for your operating system". I use Outlook 2003.
I tried opening up a record and resaving it, but that did not resolve my
issue.

You are not using Microsoft Fax. It has not been in use since Windows 95.
Existing fax programs include Windows 2000 Personal Fax, Windows XP Fax, and
Vista Fax and Scan.
To examine your default Contact manager look at Control Panel Internet
Options Programs... (depending on your operating system, which you have
not mentioned).
When you create a new Contact with a valid fax address, will it appear in
your address book? If so, then you have found your problem.

Okay, I didn't realize it changed names. I am using Windows XP Fax as my OS
is XP Home.
My default Contact manager is Microsoft Office Outlook.
All of the imported contacts have the valid fax number showing in their
records.
Now what?
Thanks

Answer my other question, please.
If you create a new Contact from scratch, will it appear in in the Outlook
Address Book. I still suspect you have unresolved addresses.
