Sending Fax From VB

[Neil Livingstone]

Please can anyone tell me the methods available for sending faxes
from a VB program.

I need the method to be reliable and to work with considerable load, i have
a vb program that generates Purchase Order documents in PDF format all i
need
to do is to develope a new class that i can pass the telephone number of the
recipient
and the URI for the PDF doc, call a magic method and hey presto.

I have already tried the following API that you can add to windows XP:

FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServer

However i am fairly sure this only works on an XP platform, i ideally would
lilke something that works on w2k xp server 2003 ....

Using standard SDK COM+ API's would be nice but any suggestions for
third party components would also be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Neil

There could be some information that you could use in the thread
exporting list of faxes not sent. That should help get you on the
right track anyway

You can make use of the legacy COM APIs. You can learn more about them from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fax/faxlegacyvb_4r6t.asp.
You can use the FaxDoc object for sending faxes.

Thanks,
