NOTES:
If a error message appears when attempting to connect to Outlook file it means there is not a valid Windows OLE path/link in the system to the Outlook file. The FaxFinder accesses Windows OLE which in turn accesses the Outlook file. If the OLE link to within Windows to Outlook does not work this is not a direct issue with the FaxFinder Client software, but an issue with the Operating system and Outlook.
