NOT a solution for Windows XP because the XP Fax Service can only run under
the System account:

Hal,
Thanks for the reply. I was using the correct "international format" to
send the fax, but you kind of lost me regarding per-user settings vs.
system
account settings. Can you explain what you meant by that?
Thanks!

the Windows XP Fax service will not process dialing rules unless the
phone
number to which you are sending the fax is in "international format."
Details on how to use international format to invoke dialing rules are
available he

If your Calling card settings are part of the per-user settings, you're
out
of luck with Windows XP Fax. The XP Fax Service can only run under the
System account, so per-user settings are not available to it.

Hi,
I currently use Windows XP SP1 with Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Fax
Service
(I also have WinFax 10 installed but don't really use it and think I
might
just uninstall it). I'm wondering if there is a way to use Dialing
Rules
when sending a fax from Outlook 2003. I have two locations set up
(home
and
home w/calling card) and would like to sometimes be able to send the
fax
from the home w/calling card location so that I can use the calling
card
and
not end up paying for long distance. Anyone have any idea how to do
this?
Thanks for the help!
