Hi Charles
My recommendation would be to use any Fax software available in the market ( i.e WinFax, Zetafax, etc... ), or if you have Windows 2000 you don't need anything. If you set the printer to a Fax printer driver, you can first send a VFP report directly to fax, and also, you can use the REPORT FORM .... TO FILE "Yourfile.TIF", wich will create a TIF file of your report ( looks exactly like the document, very small size for documents ), and you can then attach this file to send by email. The good thing with this method is that you can use the same routine for faxing or emailing.

Regards,
Jaime

>I've seen this functionality on some of the apps I've come accross with. It's being able to have an option in a report to not only preview or print it, but also to be able to email it and sometimes, even to be able to fax it. For example, how would i be able to direct the report to my default email handler, and automatiacally email it? Say I'm using Outlook Express as my email handler, can i like call within VFP msimn.exe (Outlook Express exe) with some sort of parameter/s? How do i begin with this kind of project?
Why do programs stop working correctly as soon as you leave the Fox?
