Mailmerge and fax problem!

[Guest]

Outlook 2002 uses Windows 2000 Fax Services really. It
does not run or work properly with Windows XP Fax
Services.

Therefore, a merge to fax from inside Word will not work
with Office XP and Windows XP.

Dear Peter ,

First I would like to say that you have helped me greatly with you
macro , it was exactly what I was looking for. I had looked every wher
for the fax merge solution and had come up with nothing.
I have one question for you though.
I work on a pc that is on a server , I run windows xp and have offic
2003 , when I log onto the pc as a standalone your macro works jus
fine , but when I log on as a user of the server
the macro doesn't work. It gets stuck at :
oFaxServer.Connect Servername:=Environ("computername")

I am trying to merge the faxes and send them to the server.

I hope you can help me with this
Looking forward to your reply

Thanks in advance
Johnn

OK, I may need to go back and look at this (which won't happen today) but
assuming that your fax server is actually the Windows server you are
connected to, you probably need to use something like:

oFaxServer.Connect Servername:="domainname/servercomputername"
or
oFaxServer.Connect Servername:="domainname\servercomputername"
or
oFaxServer.Connect Servername:="\\domainname\servercomputername"

However, I don't know for sure whrether you can do this, although I think
you ought to be able to, as long as you have the necessary permissions to
use the server's fax service.

Or maybe

oFaxServer.Connect Servername:="\\servercomputername"

or

oFaxServer.Connect Servername:="servercomputername"
