Cannot Open Multiple Instances of Fax Cover Page Editor

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you click New or Open on the Microsoft Fax properties Message tab, nothing happens.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur because the Fax Cover Page Editor is already open. When you click New or Open, you open the Fax Cover Page Editor. If you click New or Open again before you close the Fax Cover Page Editor, nothing happens.

The Fax Cover Page Editor is designed to run only one instance of itself at a time.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

• Close the Fax Cover Page Editor before you click New or Open again.
• To start another instance of the Fax Cover Page Editor, start the next instance from the Start menu. To do so, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Fax, and then click Cover Page Editor.
