Any way to send a fax from VFP via Activex?

Hello,

Does anyone know of any ActiveX to send a fax from within VFP? Preferably
something that also send Microsoft Word files as faxes.

Thanks

Hi
IF
o1=CREATEOBJECT('faxcontrol.faxcontrol')
?o1.IsFaxServiceInstalled
returns .T. you've already got the Windows component installed and then you
can do:
oFax=CREATEOBJECT('faxserver.faxserver')

If not start Add/Remove Software on the control panel and install Windows
Components -> Fax Services. Have your XP CD ready.

Thanks for the reply Anders. VFP returned a .T. for the
IsFaxServiceInstalled. How do I actually send a fax using VFP after these
statements?

Thanks

If createobject('faxserver.faxserver') doesn't throw an error it's the
Microsoft faxserver. You can then open windows\system32\fxscomex.dll in
VFP's ObjectBrowser and have a look at the available classes.
I don't know if there's a help file. There are examples at MSDN and plenty
available from Googling.
There are some microsoft newsgroups on the subject.
