Thanks James. But my problem is not faxing (I am currently doing it with WinFaxPro and the VFP7 report generator). My problem is how to let the user customize its own document (with bold, images, formating, etc...) and then fax it. Eventually it should include the capability to put fields within brackets to have the system replace it by data (like when you do a mail merge in word).

>>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.
