>DDE/OLE sounds easier but I can't find any documentation on how to do this.

Check out MS's VFP web site, in particular the "support" (I think) area. They have a bunch of sample files and I think I remember seeing stuff on faxing there....

If not, also check out the areas that deal with Win 95 programming or Developers Network, Win32 and etc. You may be able to modify thier VB, VC++ code samples to VFP....

HTH,
