This sounds similar to a problem I'm having. I think I understand what
Sandra is wanting. You don't necessarily have to have email addresses in
your contacts, or at least you didn't used to have to. Suppose you are
using your contacts for other purposes, like faxing only? This is what I'm
trying to do now.
I have several contacts in my contacts folder for sending business faxes,
most of them do not have email addresses associated. When I use the Fax
wizard, I used to be able to select these names from the "Address book "
button on the Send Fax Wizard. I've done this several times in the past.
However, now I'm getting similar results as Sandra I have 123 contacts in
this address book and only 21 of them are sowing up. And some of those are
ARE showing up, do not have and email address associated at all.

This sounds similar to a problem I'm having. I think I understand what

in your contacts, or at least you didn't used to have to. Suppose you
are using your contacts for other purposes, like faxing only? This is
what I'm trying to do now.
I have several contacts in my contacts folder for sending business
faxes, most of them do not have email addresses associated. When I use
the Fax wizard, I used to be able to select these names from the
"Address book " button on the Send Fax Wizard. I've done this several
times in the past.
However, now I'm getting similar results as Sandra I have 123 contacts
in this address book and only 21 of them are sowing up. And some of
those are ARE showing up, do not have and email address associated at

Hi. I'm having a similar problem as Sandra described.
I'm only able to view a select number of contacts when attempting to send
a fax using the Windows Fax program (Start - Accessories -
Communications - Fax - Send a Fax). I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook
2003 (11.6359.8107) SP1 to manage my contacts. I have One hundred and
Twenty three contacts in my contacts view. I select Address Book from the
"Send Fax Wizard" application as described above, and in the field listed
"Show Names from the:" I choose "Contacts" which is listed under "Outlook
Address Book". The result is a list of only twenty one of the one hundred
and twenty three contacts that I
have in my Outlook Contacts list. Some of these twenty one entries list
the "email type" as "SMTP" while most list is as "FAX"
From what I can tell, the other one hundred and two entries have the same
fields populated.
Also to further clarify. The same twenty one entries appear when trying
to compose a new email message and clicking the "To" button (which
displays the "Select Names" window). I also cannot type ahead in the
"To:" field and have any of the other one hundred and two names resolve to
their display names.

Jonathan R Williams said:Nevermind. I figured it out.
I have to go through all my entries and open and resave the fax number so
that the +1 is listed in their number. I presumed this is what you mean
as a "qualified electronic address"? If so, that could be clarified a bit
for the novice.
I am curious though why the entries that did work, didn't need to be
"qualified" I don't have a +1 in front of any of their numbers.
Thanks again.
Susan,
Hope this fixes your issue as well if you're trying to fix this. To be
clear what I'm doing is opening my contacts up one at a time. Then
clicking the button that reads "Business Fax" or "Home Fax" (not the arrow
next to the title) then when the "Check Phone Number" window appears I
just hit OK and the number updated with the +1 before it.

However you created these contacts, you did not resolve the addresses.
Usually that happens when you import Contacts. All that is required to
resolve the address is to Open and Save the Contact Record.

I have to go through all my entries and open and resave the fax number so
that the +1 is listed in their number. I presumed this is what you mean

I am curious though why the entries that did work, didn't need to be

Thanks again.
Susan,
Hope this fixes your issue as well if you're trying to fix this. To be
clear what I'm doing is opening my contacts up one at a time. Then
clicking the button that reads "Business Fax" or "Home Fax" (not the
arrow next to the title) then when the "Check Phone Number" window
appears I just hit OK and the number updated with the +1 before it.

Hi. I'm having a similar problem as Sandra described.
I'm only able to view a select number of contacts when attempting to
send a fax using the Windows Fax program (Start - Accessories -
Communications - Fax - Send a Fax). I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook
2003 (11.6359.8107) SP1 to manage my contacts. I have One hundred and
Twenty three contacts in my contacts view. I select Address Book from
the "Send Fax Wizard" application as described above, and in the field
listed "Show Names from the:" I choose "Contacts" which is listed under
"Outlook Address Book". The result is a list of only twenty one of the
one hundred and twenty three contacts that I
have in my Outlook Contacts list. Some of these twenty one entries list
the "email type" as "SMTP" while most list is as "FAX"
From what I can tell, the other one hundred and two entries have the
same fields populated.
Also to further clarify. The same twenty one entries appear when trying
to compose a new email message and clicking the "To" button (which
displays the "Select Names" window). I also cannot type ahead in the
"To:" field and have any of the other one hundred and two names resolve
to their display names.

Windows XP Fax will integrate it's address book automatically with

Clarify the problem you are having and in which address book.

Thanks for clarifing that. I wasn't aware fax numbers were generally
considered electronic addresses.
I'm using the Fax program native in Windows XP. I've done nothing to
actually "intergrate" it with Outlook.
Any Contact with any type of electronic address will appear in the
Outlook Address Book. Fax numbers are electronic addresses. Your
problem
will have one of the cause I have already mentioned. In addition,
which
fax program you are using and how you integrated with Outlook are in
play. You have provided none of this information.

This sounds similar to a problem I'm having. I think I understand
what
Sandra is wanting. You don't necessarily have to have email
addresses
in your contacts, or at least you didn't used to have to. Suppose
you
are using your contacts for other purposes, like faxing only? This is
what I'm trying to do now.
I have several contacts in my contacts folder for sending business
faxes, most of them do not have email addresses associated. When I
use
the Fax wizard, I used to be able to select these names from the
"Address book " button on the Send Fax Wizard. I've done this
several
times in the past.
However, now I'm getting similar results as Sandra I have 123
contacts
in this address book and only 21 of them are sowing up. And some of
those are ARE showing up, do not have and email address associated at
all.
I'm running Office Profession Edition 2003 SP2

As I said, use "Save and Close." Do not exit without saving.
What you describe is not a known Outlook problem. It appears to be
an
end
user problem. Are you saving these Contacts to the same folder you
are
displaying? Use Folder List view to see how many Contact folders you
have in
your profile.
