We have not a real solution, what we have done is: From the net we have become a good but easy to use faxing program, called MightyFAX with a (printer)Fax-driver. From within our VB pogram we have already the fax-number for de recipient and then we put that faxnumber in the Windows Clip-board. Then, by calling the Fax-driver (instead of a printer) the only thing we have to do is: paste the faxnumber with CTRL-V in the fax-numberfield of MightyFAX and SEND !
We hope this may help you.

If you have a Printer driver for this fax, then you can change the printer to use the Fax printer driver and print to that printer.

I've done this using automation to fax word documents from vb. the same method would probably work for excel documents. however, there is a major problem which is with the fax program. I've been using microsoft fax. the problems are machine dependent - that is to say it might work fine on one machine and not on the other. When it works, it works just fine, with no problems.

the two problems i've encountered are:

1) when sending multiple faxes, faxes are not queued, only the first one gets through

2) no faxes get through

in both cases, you get a "no transport provider" which means there is no fax software installed, but in fact there is.

this is not a problem with VB at all, just the underlying fax software. I'm still working on this problem and will be trying Winfax this coming week.

The general method i've used is:

1) create a word application object
2) create a word document object
3) make the word document into whatever you want
4) use the word applications SENDFAX method to fax it.

this method requires either exchange or outlook as well as some underlying fax software.

I am also looking in to using the FAX objects provided in the SDK, but haven't got far enough with that to make any statements about it.
