Hello, I have just installed Shared Fax service on SBS2000 using Brooktrout Trufax 200 modem board. We are using Exchange 2000 and has all patches, etc

I am sending faxes from a PC in Word 2000 vba using the following code and everything works great right after I boot my server. However after the intial send of faxes, lets say an hour latter, when a fax is sent nothing shows up in the Outbox and no new faxes are in the Sent Box. (Word is Open as well as Outlook)

When I reboot the server, the later fax does show up and faxes correctly. It is like it is stalling. I have turned off the "Fax Service" as was recommended in prior thread

Any ideas? thanks

Dim myOLapp As New Outlook.Applicatio
Dim myOLItem As Outlook.MailIte
Dim AttachmentName As Strin
Set myOLItem = myOLapp.CreateItem(olMailItem
Set myattachments = myOLItem.Attachment
AttachmentName = Replace(FaxAttachment, ".txt", ".doc"
myattachments.Add "C:\" & FaxAttachment
With myOLIte
.To = "[FAX:9," & aFaxNbr & "]
'.Subject = aFaxSubjec
End Wit
myOLItem.Sen
Set myOLapp = Nothin
Set myOLItem = Nothin
Set myattachments = Nothing

To the best of my knowledge there is no api available for the shared fax =
in SBS 2000...so I'm shocked that it works at all.
Folks have been inquiring for some time about how to "integrate" with =
