print_fax >> Embedd Fax number?

by Steveo » Tue, 16 Sep 2003 13:10:49 GMT

I have an application that outputs to a .txt file. Is
there any way I can embed a fax number within the .txt
file so that the fax service will dial the number
automatically and not bring up the fax wizard?


Thanks

There is no simple solution of this kind. But I suggest you to create a
simple program, which hardwires the number you want to dial and the .txt
file, and use it to send the fax. If you are comfortable with VB
programming, you can refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fax/faxusing_27co.asp
for a sample code, which sends a simple .txt file. You probably want to copy
that and change the c:\Docs\Body.txt and change 12225550100 to the number
you want dial, and adjust other properties there.

I used to be able to send faxes by selecting the address book

It has probably been over a year since I tried to use this. When
the Fax wizard opens the Address Book it now sees the Windows

I presume that an update to OE/WAB did this. Does anyone know of
a way to get the Fax Wizard to use the Outlook 97 Contacts
entries again?
