Fax

[mewfin]

Need to be able to send a fax in access using a number it picks from a table.
i dont have the faxmodem on my computer so i need to know about how it works.

 

[mewfin]

everyones just to tired to answear or is it impossible to do this?

If you don't have a modem how do you expect to send a fax?

 

[mewfin]

Well, at the computer im going to do it on they have a modem, the thing is i wont have much time to fix it so i wanna know how it works before im there.
ive looked around not finding any guide on how to do this.
they have a old approach database with this function, and they need to have the same function implemented into their access database.

Windows has a fax driver, you can access it from the File print menu or for further help using the send object method look up

One other option; I have heard of is to use Winfax which certainly used to integrate into access.

Winfax costs money=/ so id rather try to figure the other stuff out before asking these to spend money on a software just bechause it woud be easier for me=P

But i coudnt realy get the code on that article well enough to modify it for my purpose.

I only want to make a button and when i click it it faxes the form to the person wich the recored is connected to.

And What is a invoice?

Dim faxet As String

faxet = "rapport"
DoCmd.SendObject acSendForm, faxet, aacFormatRTF, FAXNUMMER

faxnummer is the field for the faxnumber.

shoud that code be enough? if i just set up the faxdriver and stuff.
