>If anyone has any insights, hints, or advice about interfacing VFP 5.0 and WinFax Pro 8 for a high usage fax/dbf system I would appreciate it!

DDE works quite well for this. There is an example included with Winfax 7.5
(I'm sure that it is with 8 also - but let me know if it isn't). Under the
help contents, choose Find and look for Foxpro. There are good examples
of using DDE to send faxes.
