Hi,
I have a customer who has just installed Office SBE. Now they want to fax from their scanner (CanoScan 9900F). When I try to set up Outlook as the default in the Tollbox it will only show Outlook Express as an option.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue?
 
In what Toolbox? This sounds like neither an Outlook nor a fax question. It
sounds like a question for the third party manufacturer.

The question is about faxing from the CanoScan Toolbox (Canon Scanner)
through Outlook 2003. The client was doing this quite happily using Outlook
2000 but upgraded to Office SBE 2003 last Thursday. They called me on
Tuesday because they couldn't get it to work so I thought I would ask the
question in here.
 
You'll most likely need to check with the manufacturer. Third party issues
aren't covered in this group so I doubt we'll run across anyone else who is
using that product.

Actually, I do use a Canon Canoscan but have never faxed from it. You are
correct, however, that it is up to the third party provider to solve the
problem since, as you know, Outlook 2003 provides no inbuilt faxing
abilities as Outlook IMO did with Symantec WinFax SE. I think that is where
the OP's problem started.
