I downloaded the tiffworks32 software and running some tests. A couple questions for you, as you print the DCX files how do you determine the destination fax number when do finally send them with WinFax? Also are using the tiffworks32 auto naming feature so users do not have to choose a destination file name?

Lance,

No we are not using the auto naming feature.

First I create a controlling database that lists all the places I need to create a fax for, this database also contains the fax number and contact name.

With a do while, I then print a report specific to that keynumber to the tiffworks printer. After the dcx file is created, I rename it using the keynumber convention I establish for the program. This is done for each required fax (well each fax is actually 5 pages).

Using the same controlling database, and after all the fax images have been created and stuck in a directory, again using a dowhile loop, go through and send the images using the DDE source code that came with WinFax, substituting the correct values.

An extract from the WinFax code sample is:

retvar=DDEPoke(FaxChan,"sendfax", 'attach("C:\WINFAX\DATA\1605002.FXR")')
retvar=DDEPoke(FaxChan,"sendfax",'recipient("011444161234","11:11:11","12/12/95","Bob Dobbs","Delta Creations","Annual Budget","Budget","20321","Fax")')
** Set the fax resolution.
retvar=DDEPoke(FaxChan,"Sendfax",'resolution("HIGH")')

The only problem we had was a squashed effect on the fax, resolved by changing the resolution settings.
