==== Faxing from OpenInsight (OpenInsight 32-Bit) ====

I received a request to automatically send faxes from an OpenInsight 7.1 system.  MAPI doesn't work for the client.  I was wondering whether anyone has had much luck with 3rd party tools? I need to set up faxing through a stored procedure without human interaction.  Any help is appreciated.

<QUOTE>Hi Sean,



That's a wide open question. I have done several projects for customer in the past. It depends on what kind of Fax system you are dealing with. Some Fax systems have file API's where you drop the file in a certain folder and the "fax server" will pick it up and send it. That is basically what I did with a "Castelle Fax Server" 



If your talking about Microsoft's FAX Service take a look here:

or do a search on msdn for "fax service"



HTH,

John

<QUOTE>I use Faxmaker pro which is an exchange service.

Faxes are sent as email attachments with the email address as fax:. Not sure if your MAPI statement will negate this.

Using John Bouley's link:



It appears that if you [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306550/] Install the Windows XP fax server[/url] you can then use MSWord mailmerge with the Sendfax method, or just Call it directly.



See [url=http://sandlerco.com/VBScript.htm]http://sandlerco.com/VBScript.htm[/url]   for an example script which can be translated to Basic+ OleCreateInstance / OleCallMethod syntax.
