Send a fax with VBA (Access): which string and declarations?

Sar1973,

Did you try contacting Symantec?

JeffCoachman

No, since the first effort I want to do will be with Windows Fax Console; definitely I want to set the parameters of the print code line that allow to send the fax with VBA.

or better yet, see my 1st post in the above link.

Done it: and if I would do it with console fax? It is simply a Windows fax service that you can use by sending documents to a virtual printer; then you have to follow a dialog box in which you are required to insert fax number, recipient, etc.
I would like to do it with code instead, like the WinFax module link you have posted. Thanx.

>I have both WinFax 10.0 and Console Fax installed
so I gave the example of winFax :)

did a search and found a few links for the Console fax:

check the VB code in link below:

and I am sure there are more.

Tried both; only have a problem in scheduling Fax Service. Thse lines are not recognised:
'Specify that the fax is to be sent at a particular time
objFaxDocument.ScheduleType = fstSPECIFIC_TIME
'CDate converts the time to the Date data type
objFaxDocument.ScheduleTime = CDate("4:35:47 PM")

>'Specify that the fax is to be sent at a particular time
>objFaxDocument.ScheduleType = fstSPECIFIC_TIME
>'CDate converts the time to the Date data type
>objFaxDocument.ScheduleTime = CDate("4:35:47 PM")

I am only guessing here:
omit this line:
objFaxDocument.ScheduleType = fstSPECIFIC_TIME

and change this line to:
objFaxDocument.ScheduleTime = ("4:35:47 PM")

or try

Dim MyTime
MyTime = #4:35:00 PM#
objFaxDocument.ScheduleTime = MyTime

I will: I am now wondering if the best way is to send a fax with Outlook, since I have a service installed.
If I set recipient address "[Fax: 123-456]" does not work; if I set "Recipient@123-456" Outlook asks me to add recipient to the address book (but I do not want to).
Is there a simple way to use this Console Fax to send a fax with email by attaching the fax document and typing somewere the fax number? Thanx.

I am sorry, but i don't have an idea about Outlook fax.

I have noticed you jumping around from one thing to another, namely WinFax 10.0, then Console Fax, and now sending fax with Outlook.

If you think none of my replies solved your question, then you can ask Customer Support to close this Q.

jaffer

The problem is that:
1)if I would use Console, I won't have the chance to schedule faxes since the commandScheduleTime is not accepted (probably because of my libraries)
2)if I would use Outlook, I am asked to charge previously the address book
I am now wondering of printing to fax printer, but I don't know how to do it with VBA: can you help please?

jaffer,



Sorry, I did not notice that.
I did not mean to be rude and not reply.
(I'm doing fine by the way)

After you stepped in, I just sat back and watched you perform your usual magic!

Thanks Jeff, No worries, I was sure you didn't notice my tiney note,
but now that EE has this new bold italic and underline features, things should be more visible :) (oh, they don't have emotions yet 8-)

thanks for your reply.

jaffer

...and I love that spell check!

Well Jeff, since Sar1973 didn't contact Customer Support, I did :)

Thanks for your help, always appreciated :)

The solution to use WinFax 10 was posted on:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23512317/Send-a-fax-with-VBA-Access-which-string-and-declarations.html#21876236

So I recommend selecting it as the correct answer.
