    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.

    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

    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.
