Problem Faxing using Outlook 2002 / MS Access

I am attempting to develop a tool in microsoft access 2002 / VB for
Applications / Microsoft Fax Service / Windows 2000 professional to fax
all of our clients notification of a service change.

The following code sends the fax:

DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "FaxReport", acFormatRTF, _
"[fax: " & "1234567890" & "]", , , , , False

Where FaxReport is a report that contains a single page of information
to send to our clients.

The fax email will appear in the outbox in outlook no problem, however
when send/receive is run I get the following error:

Task 'Fax Mail Transport - Sending' reported error (0x800C8100):
'Unknown Error 0x800C8100'

I get this error when send/receive is run automatically in the
background, and when I run it manually.

However, if I open up the message manually from the outbox, and click
the "Send" button manually, the fax will go through without a problem.

I have WinFax basic installed on this computer, however I do not
believe that it should be related to this issue in any way. Might this
be conflicting with the send/receive process? If so, why can I open the
message manually from the outbox and send it successfully?

I would appreciate any help I can get!

thank you,


Evan
 
You'll have better luck posting in the Windows 2000 Fax group. That's where
users familiar with programmatic faxing hang out.
When you do, be sure you clarify what you mean by "WinFax Basic."
