Re: Outlook contacts to Windows 7 Fax

[Horsepower]

This problem occurs because Outlook is a 32bit application and Outlook
runs on a WOW layer on 64bit operating system. The 32-bit outlook.exe
sets the registry key in 32-bit wow registry
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail and it cannot be used by the
64bit Fax and Scan. So, we cannot launch the Outlook Contact list
directly in Windows Fax in Windows 7 64 bit. The same behavior can be
seen in Windows Vista 64bit and Windows XP 64bit. Also, the MAPI used is
32 bit.

Therefore, when we launch Contacts in Windows Fax and Scan on 64bit
Windows 7, we will not see the Outlook contact list.

As you could see, the workaround will be to export the contact list
from Outlook and import it to Windows Address Book.

Thank you.

Not correct.
You can use the Mail applet in Windows 7 to configure the Outlook Address
Book, which Fax and Scan will then use.
Moreover the Windows Address Book does not exist in Windows 7.

At the very least, users should use the Mail applet to configure the Outlook
Address Book and set it as the default, then create a new Fax account. If it
still can't use Outlook, then import them into Windows Contacts.

Maybe not, but if you type wab in the Start search field, wab.exe is found
and it opens the Windows Contacts folder.

On my Win7 x64 system, Fax and Scan doesn't use Outlook Contacts but that
could be because I'm using Outlook 2010....

Vista and Windows 7 32 bit uses Outlook just fine. My only partition with
Windows 7 64 bit doesn't have an analog fax modem, so I can't configure a
fax account. All bets are off until someone with an analog fax modem
actually configures a fax account on a 64 bit partition.
Since Horsepower replied to a dead thread and didn't quote the post, we have
no idea how 64 bit even got into this thread.

You don't need a modem to set it up - you can tell it you'll pick a modem
later. Outlook 2010 32bit works with 32bit Win7's Fax & Scan. I'll check
Win7/Outlook 2010 64bit tomorrow.

Right but you can't create a Fax Account.
There's still no need for Outlook users to create and maintain a second
Contact database. If they want to use their Outlook Contacts, just fax from
Outlook.
