Faxing

[Oldsoftboss]

Is there any way of sending a report to a fax rather than printer. Some reports I would like to print but others I need to fax to suppliers etc?

Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

Yes.
Applications e.g. Winfax and zetafax have 'fax printer' drivers which appear as a printer on the pc and direct anything printed to a fax number you specify.
This requires a fax modem on each pc.
If you're building the fax facilities into your application you'll need some form of API to the fax printer engine so you can pass the fax number into the dialler.
Anyone know of a network print to fax engine with a suitable API?
