Sorry, I put a little type-o in there. Delrina is the company that originally marketed the WinFax program, now it is owned by Symantec. I know that WinFax Lite is distributed with a lot of modems, however I do not know if this version supports DDE.

You can also download a demo version of WinFax 8.0 from Symantec's web site which works for 30 days or something like that. I have run my code against the demo version and it worked, so that would get you on track for at least getting a feel for the software.

There are a couple of caveats with the algorithm I used. The biggest one is that it will only fax out one report at a time. This means that if your cover sheet is a foxpro report (as mine is) then the client is actually called two separate times to get a cover page and a report. I think you can find ways to work around that, but my client never volunteered to buy that time from me, so I never worked on it. :)

Anyway, that should be enough to get you started. Good luck!
