Hi Paul,

I think I am getting closer to a solution. I am able use the MS ActiveX Mapi controls to send a fax using MS Messaging with MS Fax service installed. Now I am testing a suggestion from Jeff Burke using TiffWorks32, which should allow me to print a VFP report to a image file, then I can send that image file using the MS Messaging above. The one advantage of this, is we have some customers that would prefer email flyers vs fax flyers, so based on how we have their profile in MS Messaging set up it will go either way, or so the plan is.

It sure seems like a long way around to send a VFP report out as a fax with out user intervention. My lack of DDE and ActiveX experience does not help.

I will post a message after I get done testing in a week or so and let everyone know how it turned out.

Lance
