I see that this has gotten a lot of feedback to this point but I can tell you that I am presently printing unique reports on a scheduled basis thru VFP 3.0 and now 5.0 using DDE on WinFaxPro 7.5. As far as broadcast is concerned, you can specify multiple recipients prior to printing and it will create a separate fax for each one on the same print sequence. You just construct a do loop to feed the recipient and cover page information. I just purchased LanSource Comm Server (a network fax server) that also has OLE and DDE API's that can do the same thing as WinFaxPro. There are many threads back in early 1997 on this and MAPI controls to Fax. The one thing is that with MAPI, you have to list your recipient in the phonebook before you fax, with WFPro, you can feed it when the fax is created. If you need it, I can provide the DDE source for WFPro.
