I looked at this problem for a very long time. I played around with all sorts of expensive software and in the end I wrote my own faxserver. The principle is simple. The workstations send 2 pieces of information to a faxserver database on the faxserver.

1. What record on the main database to access
2. What report to run

The faxserver polls the faxserver database every 5 minutes abd runs the required report using the central database record supplied. VFP reports are converted to faxes using a single copy of Winfax.

It took me 2 days to write and it had been running without a problem for the last 2 months.

Cost - almost zilch!!
