'Fax Blast' is greyed out when using FaxAdmin 2008 and MS Fax as the faxing provider.

Situation:

You are using MS Fax as your faxing solution and the 'Fax Blast' is not an option is unavailable

Solution:

Unfortunately the MSFax software does not support the 'fax blast' feature of FaxAdmin.  This feature is only available when using either ASDS FaxManager, FaxTalk FaxCenter, or Winfax Pro as the provider.  To switch fax providers, use the following steps:

1. Go to TOOLS > PREFERENCES > COMMUNICATIONS.
2. Click the "Fax Options" button.
3. Choose the drop down and change the provider to "ASDS FaxManager" instead of MS Fax.
4. Click APPLY then OK.
5. Restart ACT! 2008 for this change to take effect.
