In Outlook 2002 I can type [FAX:12013561876] in the TO field and it changes to 12013561876 (underlined) and the email sends through my fax server fine. But, when using Access to fill in the TO field with [FAX:12013561876] the email TO field stays as text and it cannot be sent. Any ideas? Or, is this more for the Access group?
Fascinating. I've never seen this reported. Can you post any more detail on how the To: field is being populated? If it is being done programmatically, you may need to ask in one of the programming groups. It doesn't sound like a Fax issue per se. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]

I am using the SendObject command from within Access. I place the text "[FAX:12013561876]" as an arguement to the command. It builds the email fine but stays as text. If you have any info on this I would appreciate it. I will also try the Access groups.

I don't. I'd try the Outlook programming groups too to see if they have any idea why Outlook fails to recognize and resolve the fax address when inserted programmatically. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]

I'd avoid SendObject and use Outlook automation (the Outlook object model) instead. Get the fax message as an Outlook.MailItem then add the recipients to the Recipients collection of that email item then resolve the recipients. That should convert the number to a resolved number (underlined).
As a test to see if this is the problem you can open the fax item that won't send, see if it has the fax number underlined and if not use Ctrl+K to resolve it. If it then is underlined and can send out when you press the Send button in the fax message then that was the problem.

I just love it when a programmer shows up around here ;) Being a fax guy gets pretty lonely. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslo...@mvps.org> wrote in message news:e4y%23AV$9DHA.3616@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl...

I'm glad YOU guys are having FUN. I'm pulling my hair out. I had this working and now I get the message: The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
FAX:12013561876 on 2/23/2004 11:55 AM The e-mail address could not be found. Perhaps the recipient moved to a different e-mail organization, or there was a mistake in the address. Check the address and try again.
It works if I type it in manualy. Programatically I get the error if I use either "Check Names" or ctrl-k. Is it trying to resolve against my contacts list? Also, will using Outlook Automation solve this issue? And, can you point me to a good example?
