Outlook 2000 Fax command

hi Everyone,

My Friend has the following problem with Outlook 2000.



He is using special fax software and to send fax properly through it, he
needs to enter the following string in the "TO" field:

), BUT Outlook immediately reformats it as:
).



As he said, he has this problem ONLY with Outlook 2000; Outlook 2003
functions properly.



I would be grateful if a microsoft MVP could answer this query

Cheers :-)

first version developed to integrate with Internet Fax Services.
