If I right click on a received fax item (the fax document is an attachment
to
the fax item) in Outlook 2000 and click Print, I receive the following
message: "Unable to print the attachment "filename.FXO". The file,
'c:\path\filename.FXO', does not have a program associated with it for
this
action. To create an association, ... and then click File Types."
Opening the fax item and clicking Print on the Outlook File menu with
"Print
all linked documents" checked prints what looks like a Symantec webpage.
However, if I open the attachment (which opens in Quikview.exe) and click
Print on the Quikview.exe File menu (or press CTRL+P), the attachment (the
received fax document) prints without a problem.
Is there a way to setup a Print action for FXO files so that I can print
using the first method?
P.S. When I installed faxing in Outlook 2000, there was not a fax program
on
my computer. I am not a big fan of Winfax either, particularly not the
later
versions. If you know, did the Winfax SE come with Outlook 2000 or with
Windows 98 SE?

It's been years since I've seen WinFax SE (thankfully), but it never
required a print command for FXO files.
What symptoms are you experiencing?

I am using Windows 98 SE. Quikview.exe is the Symantec fax viewer
Outlook
installed to view fax files in Outlook, and is the file association for
opening FXO files.
I hope this answered your questions, and thank you for your assistance.
:
What OS are you using? Is this the file association you have for FXO
files?

The

Thank you for your thoughts and assistance.
