WinFax SE outbound fax stuck somewhere

[Michael Ray Brown]

One of the faxes I created with WinFax SE in Outlook 2000 apparently has
gotten stuck somewhere on my system. It was a test fax, sent to my own fax
machine. I did this foolishly thinking that WinFax SE uses the Internet,
not the phone line, to send faxes.

Naturally, it got a busy signal, and the fax showed up in my "Sent Items."
I deleted it, and emptied my trash, but a day later WinFax SE fired up and
attempted to send it again. I can imagine this happening every day in
perpetuity. How do I trash this failed fax for good?

Only someone who walked the earth with the dinosaurs would know this one.
You are using a dinosaur, by the way, which has been extinct for quite some
time.

Like everything else, WinFax SE's automatic resend function doesn't work.
Here's a
workaround I discovered (and only barely remembered):

From the Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Data/Outlog directory
Delete each *.rec file

After that, set the number of retries in WinFax SE to 0 to prevent this from
recurring. Either that or stop trying to fax yourself.

Thanks for your help. That probably solved the problem. Only time will
tell. Yes, I'm a dinosaur. I actually have WinFax Pro 10, but I
uninstalled it before installing Outlook 2000. My faxing needs are quite
small, and I figured the SE version might do the job with lower overhead.

I didn't say you were a dinosaur.
I said I was.
And WinFax SE is.
