Is it possible to fax an Excel spreadsheet to a Maximizer 5 address book using Microsoft Fax or Faxmaker? If so, how?

Hi Simon,
Can you be a bit clearer about what you want to achieve?
It probably depends on if your faxing a single person or a list and the fax product you have.
In my experience the Microsoft Fax has some limitations. Faxmaker is an unknown product to me and its not on the list supported by Maximizer, so.. it would depend how it works. We use Zetafax.

Hi Ian. Thanks for replying so quickly. I'll try to be a bit more specific about what I want to achieve.
We are relocation consultants and we source available properties for commercial occupiers. I have a Maximizer address book of about 300 estate agents (lucky old me), and once a month I fax them all an Excel spreadsheet of our current client requirements. To do this I open the spreadsheet and print it to Faxmaker or Microsoft Fax (the two drivers I have installed). I take the fax numbers from an Outlook Address List. Is it possible to change this to the Maximizer address book, or is there a way of doing the whole thing from within Maximizer itself. I'd be grateful for any help.

Hi Simon,
I think you could get this going with a bit of DDE/API linking.
We could write you a little bit of an excel macro to get the fax number and name from Maximizer and send the fax then move on to the next person in the maximizer addressbook list.
There is another way this might work. Embed the excel in a Maximizer wordprocessor document as an object and mail merge to the microsoft fax.. or use our Max Doc product to do the same thing from an object embedded in Word.
