Fax Reports

[Lieu]

Hello All,

I am using Crystal Reports with VB as front end. When the report is previewed, is there a way to fax it right from the computer instead of physically print it out and using the fax machine?

If the question is unclear, pls let me know....

Thanks

I've done that before by setting the fax machine up as a Windows printer and selecting it for the destination.

This causes the fax front-end to startup so you can enter the fax number, recipient, etc.

I guess it depends if your fax machine is connected to your network.

If you want to fax it using your onboard fax/modem, maybe your fax software has an API.

Hi ELampman,

Using onboard fax/modem is exactly what I wanted to be done. Would you pls guide me to the right direction.

Thanks.
