Yes its developed in pure VFP

Its not an a state to be shown to others as I have not documented it and it would raise more questions then it answers.

Its elements consist of

1 Timer cpptimer.zip download id 9315 developed by Bela Bodecs
2 Winfax wfdemo2.zip download id 9759 developed by John Henn

Those cover the timer and winfax sending on the faxserver.

Then all you need is a shared database on the faxserver to which users send request records with the name of the report and the main database id which the reort is to act on.

The timer polls the database every 10 minutes to see which user request records have not been actioned. These are allowed through to a modified version of John Henn's program which runs the reports to the winfax printer and records the sucess or otherwise on the user request record.

Its not rocket science but it works. Armed with the above you should be able to build your own fax server. I'm happy to answer any further questions.
