SEND FAX USING VB6
Hello Experts.
Here is the scenario: I have an winXP pc, we have a telephone with a fax machine. There is no such connection with my pc and and fax machine.
fax machine number is 4111601.
Now here is my question, is there a way i could send a fax to that fax machine using my vb program? do i need any ocx or other files to do it?
and here is i think the hardest part for me, using that fax machine i wanted to send fax to other fax machine inside our company, lets say for example the number of that fax machine is 4222111.
I really stack with it.
I do really need your help experts..
Thank you very much in advance..

U'll need to have a dial up line (phone line) setup on ur machine. It's not required that a fax machine has to be connected to ur machine but a dial up line is required. Once u do that u'll need to install and configure Microsoft Fax. Then the code that i had posted before should work for u. Let me know if u need any help in setting up phone line and microsoft fax. Lets do it one step at a time.
Cheers,
Strider.

Gosh,
I seem to remember saying you need a phone connection on the pc you want to send a fax from.
