>>I want to send automatic fax (in repo form "x.frx") using 'MS fax printer driver' in VFP6 program lines. Besides, I would like to get the 'sent/failed' message at avariable result. Also, I would be pleased if you inform me whether there is any other way/procedure to follow in order to send fax-messages within the above mentioned program.
>> Thanks in advance.

>We're using AWFax (At Work Fax) with MS Outlook to send faxes. See Nigel Coates VFP wrapper class around Outlook available for download in the Files section. I used that as a base to create one and it works well allowing the app to send email or faxes.

>Like you, we also have the need to figure out whether the fax was acutally sent. We have not yet figured that one out yet. It makes it to the fax queue and control is immediately returned to Outlook and the VFP app. We're not sure how we're going to go about trapping an actual success or fail but are actively looking at it. I'll be looking for other responses here too.

Oh, and one other thing....we are using J Koziol's Frx2Word class to create a Word doc from a VFP report in order to fax that.

MANY THANKS to Nigel and John for the work on those classes!!!!!!
