5538.1MS-FAX can be tied up to Exchange.HERO::COUNOTTEMon Mar 03 1997 04:0727
Tom,

First, there is a special version for NT 4.0 available on Microsoft WEB...


During MS-FAX installation, it asked me if I wanted to receive fax
in an exchange profile, and let me choose which.

Also, I can add Fax services to any exchange profile after installation.

But I can't keep fax sent (using the FAX printer) in an exchange profile...


I installed MS-FAX over Outlook... But during installation it specified
MS-Exchange, also exchange is still working and shows the same profile
as Outlook.


Concerning the database, it added to my profile a Fax Address Book, which I
don't care of, but I kept it just in case. Anyway, it seems that I can
keep FAX addresses in my personnal address book and use them...



Regards,
Cedric.

    Cedric,
    
    Thanks for the reply.  
    
    I am using the NT 4.0 FAX program from the MS web site.  For some
    reason it did not ask me about using Exchange and does show up as a
    listed Exchange service.
    
    I think I am going to try to deinstall-reinstall the FAX software. 
    I think that will fix the service problem...  My system is in the shop
    for service, so as soon as I get it back, I'll try it.
    
    The Schedule+ contact database and MS Exchange personal address book 
    issue is still a problem.  I have been told that Outlook addresses this 
    issue, but have not had a chance to install and verify this.  In the 
    meantime I have to maintain two different databases.  I think it's a 
    serious design oversight on Microsoft's part...
    
    Regards,
    Tom

RE: .2

	Outlook DOES address this issue. Your addresses can be held
	in the Outlook Contacts folder (a.k.a. Outlook Address Book).
	This folder lives on the Exchange Server and is syncronized
	via Offline Folder Replication. It's very handy. The
	only glaring problem is the lack of clean support for
	personal distribution lists.
