I wasn't aware that WinFax had a SDK. Did you develop a fax server around WinFax 8.0? If so, how much and what is the network engine running under?

>I know it may not help you immediately, but are you working with the WinFax SDK? This allows you to pass info (fax number, subject) to WinFax for multiple people. I am testing for over 3000 people right now. I would do as a word document, and attach it to the fax. You can set the printer to the winfax driver from the SDK. Let me know if I can help. mY company developed a fax server for a company, and they have sold 50 copies this (the first) week.

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?
