I am writing a VFP application from which I need to be able to fax FoxPro report output. Each recipient will have a separate report, based on his or her own data. The client would prefer that the reports be nicely formatted -- not ASCII text output.

I have been considering DDE calls from VFP to WinFax, and the WinFax help file contains an example that will do the trick -- but only if you are willing to have VFP write ASCII reports that can be attached to the faxes. Is there a way to use DDE to capture the REPORT command's output with the WinFax printer driver, add a cover sheet and the necessary routing information, and (without user intervention) load the faxes into WinFax for sending?

In reviewing previous messages, I definitely get the impression that this has been done, and that the preferred solution is DDE calls to WinFax. I am new to the Universal Thread, and maybe my search skills are lacking, but I never found any details on how to accomplish what I am trying to do. If anyone can offer any suggestions, I would be most appreciative. Thanx very much.
