Hi guys: Here's my issue--
I need a way to use email AND Fax Services Console (obviously on a WinXP machine)
I'm using the SendObject method to populate an email message with a converted Access Report (converted to HTML)
However, I've seen on Microsoft's MSDN site that they suggest using the SendObject method as well to use in sending it to the Fax Services.
How can I use it for both within the same Access application?

The guts of your solution are essentially what it says to do on the Microsoft site...
But it still seems to want to pull the email message item even with the fax numbers, etc. How do I tell it to do one and then the other in a different function? I can't be the only developer to have come upon the need to do both from the same application...
Is there a setting that needs to be turned off or something somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help!
normenclature,
Have you gotten a solution to your question ("Is there a setting that needs to be turned off or something somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help! ") about the fax going to the email message and not to the fax counsel. I am currently having the same problem. If you have a solution, I'll be more than happy to give you some points for it.
thanks,

See the following function which sends fax, here you have to notice 4th argument of SendObject (To) and you have to use the syntax '[Fax: ###-####]' for the fourth argument
where ###-#### is your fax no to which report is to be sent, so replace this with your fax no.
Function FaxInvoices()
Dim dbsNorthwind As DATABASE
Dim rstCustomers As Recordset
Set dbsNorthwind = CurrentDb()
Set _
rstCustomers = dbsNorthwind.OpenRecordset
If MsgBox("Do you want to fax invoices" & Chr(13) & _
"to all customers using Microsoft Fax?", 4) = 6 Then
With rstCustomers
Do Until .EOF
' Create the Invoice report Filter used by the Report_Open
' event.
strInvoiceWhere = "[CustomerID] = '" & ![CustomerID] & "'"
DoCmd.SendObject acReport,"Invoice",acForma
"[fax: " & ![fax] & "]", , , , , False
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
End If
rstCustomers.Close
End Function
