Hi Jeff,

Check How do I invoke the SelPrint method of the Richtx32.OCX control to print RTF content FAQ #15451

>I'm trying to send rtf's to the default Winfax Pro 10.0 printer driver. The following attempts have hit the corresponding snags:
>
>1. I create the Winfax Send object in VFP8 and set all the parameters. Using Word automation I print the rtf document to the Winfax driver. PROBLEM: Word keeps hanging in the background by offering the Winfax Pro fax creation wizard. It's apparently creating a new Send() object of its own and not seeing the one I've already created.
>
>2. I try to send the rtf string to the Winfax printer driver using a standard VFP report form containing the OLE/ActiveX container. PROBLEM: I can't get the rtf string into the general field of the cursor so that I can spit it back out in the report form. See my thread under Reports & Report Designer over the last couple of weeks re: this one.
>
>3. I can send the contents of the VFP rtf control straight to the printer using the COMMOM Dialog, but it forces me to present the user with a Printer selection dialog each time in order to set the hdc property. I can't find a way to set the default printer in VFP and print to it without this UI step each time. Gonna be too much of a nuisance in a high volume faxing enfironment.

>TIA
