WinFax is actually a printer driver, so it will not begin its function of SEND until you begin to print something. What are you trying to fax? I have run up against this when I am trying to fax just a cover page from FoxPro, and I don't think I've solved that problem. (I'd check, but I'm waiting for my real copy of WinFax to come in - #!*$ government procurement system, I ordered it on November 18.)

You might be able to print an empty report, such as "REPORT FORM DUMMY FOR THISFIELD = 'NONSENSE', but I couldn't swear to that.
