So I ordered Winfax and started looking at developing a small 6.0 app in vfp that will handle this function. Well the network guys come back with ...we RECOMMEND that you use MS Outlook Express's Faxing Capabilities instead of setting up an entirely different computer to serve as a fax server.

Jeff,
Did you ever resolve this?

I need to fax reports to clients. Each report is an assemblage of 2-4 sepparate print jobs. Now we print them and manually fax them....like you described.

All the examples I've seen so far involve "existing" files being used as an attachment. What I have is a collection of Foxpro reports....
faxback.frx - coversheet (1 page)
newgraph.frx - profile report (1 page)
question.frx - interview questions (1 page)
expanded.frx - expanded version of the profile report (5 pages)

The coversheet could be accompanied by any number of, and any combination of, the other 3 reports. Since Foxpro treats each of these as sepparate print jobs I could end up with multiple phone calls to each client....and if someone else sends them a fax between my series of transmissions then things could get ugly.

So what I need is some way to send all of their stuff in one "packet"...one phone call....but how do I do this? As I said, All the examples I've seen so far involve "existing" files.

Can you help?
