VendorInfo

Vendor Info - Current vendor address and general phone number.

Telephone Icon - Selects the general phone number of the company as the one to be called and places it in the Dial Number [F5] box.

Note: This is a legacy feature and requires that both a modem and telephone be sharing the same line, so it is NOT compatible with digital telephone systems.

You may use Microsoft's phone dialing capabilities to telephone a selected customer or vendor. A modem must be installed in your computer and attached to the same line as your telephone. The modem dials the telephone number and you speak through your telephone. Setup of the phone dialer cannot be covered in this help file.
