E-Mailing Fax with Images Hangs
Hello,
Having a bit of a problem with sending faxes through outlook via Shared Fax Service. Faxes OK outside of outlook. Faxes are fine unless they have an image attached/inside them. When I hit send, Microsoft Photo Editor opens up in the taskbar (with some .jpg image, I assume a temp) and it will hang there until I force it closed. I have read the only article I found on Google (oddly enough, they all had input from you, Russ) and have had no luck. FYI Windows 2000 SBS Server (fax) Client is XP SP1, Office 2002 Exchange server in use Fax Mail Transport is FIRST is list & Default. Have tried the command rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4" (even a reboot after) ..GIF,.TIF,.TIFF,.JPG,.JPEG All set to MS Picture/Fax Viewer Hope you can help!

What is the format of the attachment you are trying to fax?
Is your fax software the client for SBS or Windows XP Fax? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eric Dropps" wrote in message ...

No problem with a delay. I'm in no hurry.
I do need a bit more accuracy in the answers, however. I understand the attachment is an image. I need to know the file type of the image, how it is attached to the message, and the format of the message. I was also asking about the client fax software, not the server software. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eric Dropps" wrote in message ... the 'attachment' is an image in the email. using the shared fax on our SBS server.

in this case, it is a bitmap image inserted as part of a signature (our
company logo). the message is in HTML format. the 'client software' is the " Fax Mail Transport" of Outlook. to refresh, it's all good as long as I don't include the picture, that's when it messes up, ms photo editor opens, apparently freezes, and the fax ultimately fails.

That's because the Fax Service has no rendering capability so your operating
system must have a printto verb defined for the image file type you are trying to render. A BMP file usually requires this printto verb: rundll32.exe Drive:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Pr intTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4" However, I doubt you will like the results since every image is rendered separately as a full page and will take forever to transmit. My advice is just lose the graphics. This is just a fax. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eric Dropps" wrote in message ... in this case, it is a bitmap image inserted as part of a signature (our company logo). the message is in HTML format. the 'client software' is the " Fax Mail Transport" of Outlook. to refresh, it's all good as long as I don't include the picture, that's when it messes up, ms photo editor opens, apparently freezes, and the fax ultimately fails.
