I wonder why noone has this problem like me. I have looked through many books on Fox Pro, but never seen anyone address this. Wonder why?


I have just wrestled with this very problem trying to use OLE Messaging control with MS Fax. Apparently at this time, there is no way to print the report (other than to a text file) which then gets attached to a fax message addressed through MS Fax with OLE controls. Problem is the report in ASCII format is not very readable and there is no way to read the resulting report file in its native format.

Therefore, I found myself purchasing Delrina WinFaxPro and addressing it using DDEPokes, etc. You then print the report to "WinFax" print driver, DDEPoke the phone no, recipient, etc. and it then activates WFPro and sends the fax.

Hopes this guides you a little. Anymore info needed let me know or contact Lisa Slater who wrote an article on OLE Messaging in IFP (September, 1996) I think. I think you can get the article at the Cobb publishing website
