Thanks so much for all your replies. I appreciate your time!

The =inkey(3,'H') command was what I was looking to try. I didn't know what the delay comand in VFP was, so thanks for sharing it with me ;-) Unfortunately, it takes almost 10 seconds for Word to open and convert the file, and I really don't want to put an explicit 10 second delay in each time a report is faxed. My development machine is a PIII 500 too, which is a lot faster than any of the pc's this application will actually be run on. I'm a little bit scared to find out how long it will take the slowest one of them to make the conversion...

I realy wish Symantec and/or Seagate would help me figure out why Landscaped Crystal Reports won't fax Landscape through WinFax via the printer driver. That would be the easiest way to solve this problem.

Or.... If only I could figure out why SDKSend isn't working on my new computer. Before I moved all of my development platform to this computer, SDKSend was working great for faxing through Winfax. Now it won't even create the Winfax SDKSend object. (Well, it creates an object, but it is "propertyless".

Anyway, again, I appreciate your time. I'll think of something else to solve this problem.

Thanks Albert!
