Eric,
we have been able to do this using Word with OLE and WinFax Pro. Problem is that WinFax is on it's way out as I hear it. It does not support Windows XP and (my guess only) is that it's becuase XP and Win 2K already have faxing built in although I haven't used it yet but it looks like I'm gonna have to soon. Anyway, You can call Word from foxpro with a parameter that is the document name. We set up a directory that all the Word Merge files go into. We put all the docs in a picklist so the user can select the desired doc while in FoxPro and then we call Word with the doc name as a pram. There is a way to send a list of merge fields to Word so that the user can select the fields from a picklist in Word. If you select WinFax as the printer you then have what you want. (I was pleasently supprised when I found that if I select the printer while in FoxPro that Word uses that printer.) I assume (there's that word again) that you could do the same with Win 2K or XP faxing. I think there is a good Word Mail Merge demo somewhere here on the UT.

HTH
John.


>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.
