Fax number inconsistency

[Tony Linguini]

At my office (Outlook 2003 Pro) some fax numbers show when sending a fax
from XP Pro and some do not. They all show in Outlook contacts, and I have
the proper format for all of them. I only have one contacts folder.

Also, I have Sperry schedule recurring email, and if I do anything in
outlook at the time the recurring email is sending, Outlook gets buggy and
the new mail sound has an echo.

Comments or suggestions appreciated.
Thank you.

Unclear post. Show where? Are all numbers resolved?

Sorry to be unclear..
When I go to Windows XP Pro fax to send a fax from a program (such as Word
or Acrobat), I select to print on fax. Then when I select address book, some
fax numbers are listed and some aren't. But if I go to Outlook address book
they are all there and all in canonical form. For the ones that aren't
listed, I must go to Outlook and look up the number, and type it into the
fax number dialog. This is inconvenient.
Thank you.

Any valid fax number in your Contacts Folder that is resolved will appear in
the address book. Accordingly, one of those conditions is not true.

Could you please define "resolved"
I somewhat understand that term referring to dns, but the fax numbers all
look the same in my address book.
Thank you.

Resolved means that Outlook has checked the validity of the electronic
address and found it to be valid. It will indicate that state by underlining
the address in the Contact Record. Contacts that you import for example will
not have their addresses resolved and will not appear in the address book.
Sometimes just opening the Contact Record will force the resolution, and the
Contact will then appear in the address book.
As a test, create a new Contact with a valid, resolved number in a fax
field. Does it appear when you open the address book in Fax?

Thanks, Russ. You put me on the right track. When I changed to this
computer, I used my PDA as my contact list backup. Evidentally, the PDA
(WM5) did not speak the same language as Office during that synchronization.
Any numbers that I added after that were available in Windows fax. I just
had to go in and remove and re-input a few hundred fax numbers. All is well
now.

How awful. The lesson here is that there is only one way to transfer Outlook
data. Never rely on synch software to do it. Never use import/export. Just
copy and reuse your Outlook data file. Nothing else will work. Users prove
it every day here.
