The below code dials a phone number using C:\Program Files\Windows
NT\dialer.exe. The problem is that dialing rules are ignored. MS
Knowledge Base Article 266253 suggests that entering the phone numbers in canonical
format, e.g. +011 (408) 2578652, will fix the problem -- but I tried and
it didn't work.
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an alternate phone dialer --
preferable one that does not use a GUI like dialer.exe, which appears to
slow the dialing process considerably. Or, if there's another solution to
get dialing rules working, please let me know! Thanks in advance!
BTW, I'm using Windows XP Professional and Access 2003 (same problem
exists with Access 2002).
