WinFax has an SDK availible from their web site. There is also a patch you have to install to WinFax 8.0. I am using patch 802 but I hear there may be an 803. The only problem is Symantec does not give any support for the SDK directly, only via a news group. The file image generation is done via WinFax. You set the printer to WinFax, and everything is "rasterized" via the printer driver. This includes reports from VFP. An attachment has to be in a format that is registered in the local machine registry. Example, if you want to fax a PDF file, you must have an acrobat viewer installed. WinFax takes the PDF attachment, starts Acrobat, and prints to the WinFax printer driver to rasterize the file. This works for everything I have tried including Word, Ventura Publisher, PDF, etc. Check out http://www.symantec.com/winfax/fs_wfpsdk_sdk.html

Hope this helps.
