Faxing Error from Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I have some code written in Access that automatically faxes purchase orders
overnight. This worked great with outlook 2000 but when I upgraded to 2003 I
have had problems with this code. How should a fax number appear so I can
change my table. Or do I need to change my code?

This is the error I get:
The message could not be delivered because the recipient's destination email
system is unknown or invalid. Please check the address and try again, or
contact your system administrator to verify connectivity to the email system
of the recipient.

Thanks for your help.

The Fax software you are using is the main factor in play here.
You left that out. Outlook 2003 no longer integrates with the same fax
software that Outlook 2000 did.

Hi Russ,

The fax software is what is Microsoft fax service version 5.2.2600.2180. I
upgraded to XP also. I think this software comes with xp??

Thanks

Then it will depend on your programming. Faxing from the GUI works best with
canonical (international) format. Programmatic faxing may require one-off
format, as described here for fax merges:
