Faxing... guru question

how do u fax without using API's? I really need help on this.. I want to make a efficient faxing program using only vb. Help needed ASAP..

Use the CommonDialog control to put up a print dialogue. Then, the user selects their FAX: device. Then just use the Printer object as normal.

thanks for replying parksie... can u be a little more specific on the subjec? I really do not have a clue on what to do...

Okay...

If the user has their faxmodem set up properly, there will be a new printer device, which corresponds to the Windows internal faxing system. If you set the current printer to that new driver, then everything you print will get faxed. I think it asks for the number when you call Printer.EndDoc

What do i do after that... sorry for asking too many questions but i dont know anything about faxing and printing...

If it doesn't appear, then the easy way has been blocked off. I really can't help you past there because you'd need to make the image, convert to fax format, then specifically open the modem, get it to send the fax, then close the device.

thanks parksie, i think i got it to work now... is there a way for me to send mass amount of people without clicking ok button on every single one and selecting the device everysingle time?
thanks again for the help
