Josh,

I suspect that you are correct. Thanks for the timer idea...I would have never thought of it.

I'm going to try another idea this morning. The control also has some properties that I can query to determine when the fax is complete. I won't be able to display the real-time progress of the fax...but since this is a "background" server application that feature isn't critical.

Thanks again,
Tim

I tried adding a DoEvents inside of my loop. I'm stuck. Will the ActiveX control's events only fire when sitting at a READ EVENTS?
