I need help on this one: I must send faxes to multiple people. The fax is a 4 pages contract.

I see 3 options:

1) I retype the contract inside the VFP report generator (a real pain in the ... This is a contract with lots of small terms and building a multiple pages report in VFP is not a trivial task)

2) I have the contract in Word format. So I can build a mail merge document from it and an operator open up the document and start the mail merge process. But I have no idea how to send to WinFax the configuration fields (fax number, contact name, message, etc.) so that it does pop up a window to the user asking for these informations.

3) Build the mail merge document in Word and start the mail merge process from VFP. But that bring up it's share of questions: How do I load the document and start the mail merge process via DDE? How do I make sure that word is set up to print on the WinFax driver? Is the parameters I send to WinFax via DDE from VFP will be in effect when printing from Word?

I'm stuck and need your advice on this.

BTW, this functionnality must be up and running by saturday morning, so I don't have very much times to do fancy stuff. Just a quick and dirty approach would be good enough.

TIA
