Paul,

Answered this one before,... but it doesn't seem to have gone through.

I haven't had much practical experience doing this sort of this, but the only way I can see you being able to do this is by either getting your app to Poll the fax/email component to check on the status, or pass in a reference to your app to the component, so that the conponent can let the app know once the preocess is complete.

Regards

Mace
