Windows Address Book. If you do, it will

I am using Microsoft fax and I want to add
many fax numbers to a phone list.
Which is the best phone list to use,
because I never use Microsoft Outlook
(just Outlook Express).
Please help, Frank
Frank Martin said:Thanks. When I use the fax Wizard I get to a stage with two options in
the drop-down box that is "new contact" and "new distribution list". I
have been using "new contact" so far but I want to be sure before typing
in 100 or so numbers.

Perhaps you could share with us which
address book you are using. It would sure
help to know that.

Frank Martin said:I WAS using the one that came with the HP3100 printer/fax/scan machine, but
as usual this was corrupted and now gone for ever. I have therefore
disconnected the computer link to this device and now use it solely for
receiving faxes. And now I use an OKI machine for printing.
In Outlook Express I have an email list in the "Address Book" but this is
just for emails addresses.
In short I am using the Microsoft Fax via a Swann V90 plug-in modem to
avoid the constant problems I had with the HP3100.
So now I need to know the appropriate Address Book type to use with the
Microsoft Fax.

Did you read my first reply?
Use which ever you want. They both work the
same. The decision should be based upon
which address book you need as the default
for your operating system. Most people who
install Outlook want to use its address
book since Outlook is where they store
their contacts. That's why the OS defaults
address book functions to Outlook when you
install it. You can change it back to the
WAB if for some reason you installed
Outlook without intending to use it.

You sure are.
Outlook Express and Outlook are two
completely different programs that are in
no way related. WAB is the Windows Address
Book which is the address book used by
Outlook Express.
You need to clarify which of these programs
you have installed and which you intend to
use. Read the primers here:
