Mark Derail presented at MFUG a solution with Zata Fax. It was a client/server Fax system that can take incoded command from a Fax. This mean that you can merge you Word Doc. with the name of the client, is fax number in the document before you send your document to the printer and the fax driver will send you fax to the custom without questions.

Using a ActiveX in FoxPro will give you more flexibility on where and how you can use this control. Compiling this ActiveX in Ole Server will give you the possibility to call this application from a icon in Excel for examples.

Ma famile va très bien Merci! ;)

>What's the best solution?
>- Write a VBA macro in Word 97 to scan the document for information to send to WinFax, like the macro that came with WinFax. BTW, I never got the macro to work the way I want, it allways pop up some forms on screen, wich is unacceptable in a automatize process. Also, I have some experience with VB, not with VBA
>- For each contract: create one record in the merge table, send the DDE command to WinFax to set the fax number, start Word, set the default printer to WinFax, start the merge, print the file
>- I have an ActiveX control named WinFax SDK, but get the message "Control not registered" when trying to put it on a form. Somebody know the name of the file to register?
