Hello,

I am trying to create a button that would fax my order to my supplyer. Here is my code:

Dim stDocName As String
Dim FaxN As String


FaxN = Me.VENDFX
stDocName = "POFax"
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, acFormatRTF, _
"[fax: " & FaxN & "]", , , , , False

When I use this code it trys to send my report by e-mail. How do I get it to fax via Microsoft fax?

When you want to Fax something, don't you just print the report to the fax? I would use the OpenReport method. Be sure to set the arguments properly so the report goes directly to the "priner" rather than preview.

I have set the default printer to be the fax, but I keep getting the fax wizzard and I have to fill in all the information by hand. I want access to look at the suppliers fax number and place the fax without having to enter then information by hand every time.

Apparently SendObject is the method to use. See if this article from the kb clears up the problem: How to fax from Access by using the SendObject command in Access 2002 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299016)

Thanks,

I found out what the problem is. The code was correct but I need to set up an account in Outlook that would send faxs. Here is the link on how to set it up. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/fxsclnt/FaxC_H_NodeEmail.asp

Once the Email accout is set up to fax the send object method work just fine.

Thanks everyone for thier input.

Thanks for reporting back.
