Outlook 2007 Contacts in Windows Fax and Scan

[Eduardo Macias]

Hello,
I have MS Outlook 2007 as my default for everything it can be set as default
in the "Set you Default Programs"
When I open Windows Fax and Scan, I can only see contacts from Windows
Contacts.
I cannot see any of the Outlook Address Books.
How can I see my Outlook Contacts?

I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 and Outlook 2007 SP2.

Any help is appreciated.

Presumably in outlook your contacts are correctly configured, to be shown as
an address book?

In Fax & Scan tools> Contacts, the resulting window should have a drop down
to select Outllook Address Book

Actually I found the solution:

I kept reading in a lot of forums that Windows Fax and Scan uses the Default
Contacts Application.

So my mistake was to go to: "Default Programs"/"Set Default Programs" and
make sure MS Outlook was the default for all file types.

But the real fix is to got to: "Default Programs"/"Set Program Access and
Computer Defaults", go to the "Custom" section and select "Microsoft Office
Outlook" as the default e-mail program.

After that, Windows Fax and Scan uses Outlook Contacts.

Thanks for your help
