Hello, Jaime.
I had a problem with the spooler when using the FaxPlus printer driver. If I printed a report to the printer, and then tried to fax through the fax printer driver, I would still get the output on the printer (even though I was changing the default printer etc.) I finally used SET PRINTER TO after the printed report would run. This seemed to take care of the problem. Subsequent attempts to fax or print went to their proper destination. The FaxPlus printer driver takes the report form output and converts it to a BMP file, which then gets faxed. If I didn't close the printer spooler with SET PRINTER TO after printing a report, the FaxPlus printer driver never got the output from my report form for some reason no matter how much I fiddled with the spooler settings in Windows. I hope this will help.

>I have a small app that scans a table, and creates reports that are then faxed. I first used WinFax, then Zetafax. I first installed everything on Win95, then 98, and had a GPF every now and then.
>I installed it on a NT workstation now, and changed to Zetafax. It is slightly more stable, but i still get C00005 every now and then. After doing some research in the Zetafax log files, it seems the problem is when VFP is creating the report in the spooler. I tried mingling with all the Zetafax printer driver definitions as well as the spooler settings, but with no luck.
>Of course, i tried to put some delay between reports, but it still does not help. Is there a way to slow down the report spooling while VFP is still creating it?
>The other idea i have is maybe to report to a bmp, then send the bmp to the fax, but then i don't know how to do that.
