For what it is worth, I would use either efax or jfax for this. The service is very cheep and you can upload a text file and the document to fax and they do the rest. I have seen them sending 300 to 400 faxes at a time. Of course this won't work if you need each page customized.

>I need to incorporate a fax mass-mailing capability in my vfp7 application. I wonder about the best way of implementing this. I am currently using WinFax Pro for stuff like sending invoices. But in a fax mass-mailing application, I need the user to create a document, selecting a list of clients and then send them.
