I am trying to fax a document using syntax from a number of MS KB articles. The VBA is as follows:

Function FaxReport(strReportToFax As String, strFaxNo As String)
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim strFaxOutput As String
strFaxOutput = "[fax: " & strFaxNo & "]"
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, strReportToFax, acFormatRTF, strFaxOutput, , , , , False
End Function

What happens is that it send the report to Outlook. I have added the MS Fax References to my vba.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
Winston
 
Winston:

You probably need to add the fax transport provider to your Outlook set up.
Here's how:

1.) Right click on the Outlook item on the desk top and choose properties
and select email accounts or select Tool -> E-Mail accounts from the Outlook
menu.

2.) Choose Add a new e-mail Account

3.) Choose Additional Server Types

4.) Select the Fax Mail Transport

Then try faxing again.
