>I am developing a program that faxes many reports at the same time using Winfax from within Foxpro 2.6. These reports are created individually and sent to the printer. After they are printed, I want to save a copy of the reports so that I can later run a program that calls Winfax to fax all the reports that haven't been faxed , at the same time (i.e. group them by fax# to save phone calls).

Putting them in a general field is a good idea. I think that probably the best way to do this is to use another dedicated machine to do the faxing for you, it need not be a very powerful machine. Put a record in the fax table for each fax you want to send then set the sent flag to true after you send them. Run the program on a schedule to send out each fax group. Good luck
