Hi all,
I'm trying to send a fax from my project and could use some proffessional advice.
What I've done so far is compose a message with MAPI and it sends but gets returned as a nonfatal transient error. I set the number up like this faxname@[Fax:111 1111]. Does my email host need to have a fax server set up?
If it can be done I would rather direct dial the fax with Com and use the printer object to print the fax. I'm assuming I would need the deviceName or driverName to do that.
Anyone know how to get that information about a fax machine. The fax machine won't be local so it also won't be registered on my local machine.
Thanks
Grizz2
