Thanks for the advice. This is a dual boot computer and I am aware that
Outlook 2000 does not work with Vista. Apparently a problem with the
address book.

I notice your speciality is Outlook. Whilst I have Outlook installed
I have never been comfortable using it. After reinstalling WinFax
Pro and whilst trying to reconfigure WinFax Pro it took an interest
in the existence of Outlook I had to insert my Office 2000
Professional CD. Perhaps I need to check whether Outlook might be
part of the problem. It certainly would do no harm to check for
updates. Thanks for your response and support <G.

My experience has been similar to Doug. It has worked well for
nearly 4 years. It could the update to SP3 but WinFax Pro is still
working, except for the macro and having to manually print incoming
faxes. ~~~~

You posted an exception. Hal posted the rule. I doubt very many
users will be as successful as you, but it's nice to know it's
worth trying if users are game to give it a go on their own with
no support.
Not to argue with an MVP, but I have been using Winfax
(successfully) with XP since XP came out - now at Winfax ver
10.3. Symantec is no help whatsoever & has not been for many
years. The macros I have for Winfax (as installed from the WF
prog) work
OK, but do NOT return the default printer to what it was before
you used WF, all of the times. I simply wrote a macro for Word &
Excel that does return my default printer to what it was before.

Versions of WinFax later than version 9.x have proven to be
largely incompatible with Windows XP. WinFax, when installed on
an XP machine usually corrupts XP's Fax service to the point
that it cannot be resurrected
without an OS re-install. Symantec no longer offers any real
tech support
for this product. There are a number of group fax services
available that
are compatible with XP, my suggestion would be to get one. You
might also
want to see if Symantec has a user forum for WinFax; the primary
focus for
this forum is Windows XP Fax.
