FAXCOMEXLIB VS 2008 issue

[Ty]

I one issue and one question.

Problem- I am writing a fax server program on a Vista machine with VS
2008. I compile the program and then install it on a Windows server
2003. I run the program and get a "Unable to cast COM" error. I'm
guessing that this is due to the diffrence between the Vista
FSXCOMEX.dll and the Server 2003 FSXCOMEX.dll so should I just replace
the file on the server with the one from Vista? or is there another
way around this?

I have a pc on a network and I have fax service running and I have
added the shared fax on the fax server in Add printers and faxes. I
was hoping that I could fax documents to the server just like I send
print jobs but it does not work. It seems that I would have to have my
PC hooked up to a phone line which is not really an option. Can you
not fax through a network?

Thanks,

Ty

I think first try to just put your new FXSCOMEX.dll into the same folder as
your program, then it should be found by the program. Alternately, you may
be able to put the old dll into the same folder - Debug or Release, for the
program you are developing.

I have written a network fax utility some time ago, and I think that is what
I did.

I had no problem sending a fax via the fax server on the network server.

Rick,
So you just have your PC connected by ethernet and just added the
fax modem on the server through add printers?

Yes. Then I think you refer to it by either \\myservername or IP address in
the dll, but it has been a while.
