>>I am trying to programmatically send faxes using VFP6.0 and Winfax 9. I want to run a report form and fax it in its native foxpro format automatically. My understanding is that I have to output my report to a file and then attach the file to send the fax.

This doesn't seem to be working. Is there a specific way I need to output my report format??? Do I need to convert my output file???<<

I use WinFax Pro's OLE object with VFP and fax successfully without having to dump to any specific format and then attach a file.

I just create the object, set some properties (e.g., Send To, Subject, etc.) and then:

REPORT FORM << whatever >> TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE

all from within VFP.

Whether or not you use their OLE object, it seems to me that as long as you are throwing the print job to their printer driver, you should be OK with a REPORT FORM command.
