Default Send to Fax Services

Venali should be able to troubleshoot this for you. Defining the printto
verb is what works for Windows Fax. Other services may require different
solutions.

We have the same problem with RapidFax and Venali.

They just dont get the attachment Outlook should attach.

Still having problems.

I defined the Printo in the File associations.

I also checked the registry and directly edited it there.

Should I copy the shimgvw.dll from a good machine?

No change. Everything works up until the point that Outlook sends the
file
forward.

Anything else to check for before we format this machine and start
over?

define a printto verb in the File Associations dialog (Windows

I dont know.

I need to know exactly where to put it. The other website was vague
about
where it went.

Does it go in the registry or

Somewhere else.

Many thanks for an exact description.

Yup. That's the one that has worked best here, both for Venali and
for
tif
attachments from Outlook.
What was yours showing?

I found this on another site

Is this what I want it to look like?

rundll32.exe
Drive:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Pr intTo
/pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

PS Examine the definition for tif files as well. It is even more

that
Adobe mucked with that.

I forgot to mention we did uninstall Adobe Professional.

I am looking for a way to turn back on the attachment of the
file
in
Send
to.

I am assuming something got tweaked in the registry and is
stopping
this
from happening.

Any other options?

As it stopped working when you installed the upgraded Adobe

We have a Windows XP box with Office 2003 with current
updates.
We
used
to
be
able to send faxes thru a Fax Service ie Venali and we
tried
also
RapidFax.
Same error for both.

Problem is when you click on Send to and then Fax Service
everything
works
as it should. The Word File converts to a tif file and
preview
will
show
both
the cover sheet and the attached file.

When you hit send, the cover sheet only will go to the fax
service
and
the
tif file will not be attached.

We look in the sent mail and the tif file is not attached.

I installed this on my machine with the same configuration
and
it
worked
flawlessly.

This worked before we installed an upgraded version of
Adobe
Professional.

Any ideas on what to check before we uninstall and
reinstall
Word
which
I
dont think will fix the problem?
