Actually neither. I set the printer driver through vfp code.(Set printer name...) Create the report. The Faxpress comes up with the report attached. I stuff the fax number into the _cliptext and they merely control-v it into the fax number field of FaxPress. Client makes them review each document before they send it since it is a compilation of a number of actions they must take. They can add their comments on the cover page or send it as it.
It really has worked great.

I looked at the Simplefax utilities and SDK and got very little to no support from FaxPress. Client liked the aforementioned method better so went with it.

If the email didn't make it, a icon in the tool bar will light up and they can find out the error. Mostly bad fax numbers or busy. You can set the number of retries if the recipients are always busy.
