Default Not all attachments can be rendered

I am using Outlook automation to send faxes via Outlook.
I need to send faxes with either a .jpg or .html
attachments but I get the error `Not all attachments can
be rendered`. I have my email format sent to send in
Rich Text Format and it works fine until I try an
attachment other than .rtf. I keep seeing something
about needing to define a "printto verb" if I want to
send other formats. Can you tell me what I have to do in
order to be able to send these types of attachments?

Neither Outlook nor the Fax Service can render graphic files for fax
transmission. You need an application that can do so using its print
routine.
You may be able to specify a printto verb if you have an application
available that has such a print routine. Do you?

I'm not sure what you mean. I have Access, and programs
like Paint, Adobe, Corel Draw, etc. I keep seeing
references to PrintTo, like you just made, but I do not
understand what to do next.

Use Windows Explorer View File types to look at the file associations
for the type of file you want to render. See what the default program is for
the open verb for that file. Create a printto verb for that file type using
the same application.

Interesting. I just came across a couple of other items
you wrote to other people on this very subject. You get
around. I just created the following key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSPaper.Document\shell\printto\c ommand]
and set it to:

rundll32.exe DRIVE:\WINDOWS\system32
\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

Not I can even send an fax with HTML format, which is
exactly what I want to do. But, the print dialog box
comes up for every page. I will try your other
instructions also. How can I get rid of the print dialog
box?

Those instructions are only for Outlook 2003 and only for TIF files. The
method you use will depend on the format of the attachments you want to
send. That's why it's better to use whatever application your OS has set as
the default application for opening and printing that particular file type.

You need to be more specific about what you want to do and with what Outlook
and fax software.

Ok. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have an Access
application that produces a report and I would like to
send a report and one or more attachments which may
include: A Word file (maybe rtf), a web page (html or
htm). I am sending this via email those customers that
have an email address and via fax for thos customers that
have a fax number. The attachments (or pages) change
depending on the customer.

When I added the mspaper.document stuff the html rendered
when sending a fax. That's the first time that ever
worked, but the print dialog pops up.

So, since you seem to be the man that knows all about this
topic, the question is... What the heck do I have to do to
get this to work properly?

The only sure way to do this is to use "print to fax" from the application
that created the document. Any reason you can't do that?
What print dialog do you mean and what steps invoke it?

Default Not all attachments can be rendered

I am sending web pages as attachments. So I went to
Internet Explorer, went to the web page, did a FILE, SAVE
AS, HTML web page only. This creates an html file. I
have several of those files. I also have a word file
that I could probably convert to html also. Then I am
just using those pages as attachments. I don't know how
I could use "print to fax" in that situation. If I
`print to file' for the shared fax and get a .prn file
does that help me at all? Secondly, when I say "print
dialog", it is that window that lets you select which
printer you want to print with. It pops up once for each
attachment. The Shared fax is already hilited and all I
have to do it click OK. So, I'm very close to getting
this to work. I probably just need a better PrintTo verb
somewhere. Any ideas?

But if you look at File Associations for HTML files, isn't there a printto
verb already defined for your OS?
Mine has one:
