Hi,

I'm developping an ASP.NET application that must fax EXCEL files.
I tried by using the FAXCOMLIb libraries, using the Windows Fax Server.

It works fine, except because of EXCEL: it seems necessary that the
application pool user is logged in before the first use (then, it can be
logged off: it goes on working until the worker process is destroy be the
application pool).

Otherwsise, trhe EXCEL process is started by process but never quit and the
ConnectedSubmit(server) method never returns.

(I created a specifc usser account for the application pool; installed Excel
using this account; adde the user to the administrator group)

Is it really possible to fax Excel files from an ASP.NET application ? If
yes, is there soimething to do to make EXCEL working correctly ?

Thanks for your help

We develop a component that can create multipage tiff files in CCIT 3
format without having Excel installed, and you could then use the
FaxCom libraries to fax the generated files. I know we have many
customers that do just that.

You might want to take a look at www.tmssoftware.com/go/?flexcelnet but
if you are interested in faxing, please send me a personal email. You
can create fax files with the current 3.7 version, but you have to
create the multipage tiffs by hand from bitmaps. But I can send you an
evaluation version of the upcoming 4.0 version, that has a method to
save directly on fax format, and a demo to show how to do it.

Hope this helps
Best regards,
Adrian.
