Automatically Send Fax to One Number

[BrianEWilliams]

I send a lot of faxes to one number. I'd like to be able to make this
process as quick as possible. I have Outlook 2000 and XP Pro
installed. The Send Fax Wizard I use now requires several steps that
are getting tedious. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You can send from Outlook, but not if you're using IMO mode.
I'm not sure how that really saves any steps. There aren't that many to
begin with.

Well,

you could use Aloaha PDF Suite. In case your FAX Modem is connected to a
XP/2003 Machine you can use the Aloaha FAX Connector.
The Aloaha FAX Connector allows you to embed the FAX Number inside the
Document. Once you print the Document Aloaha will FAX ist.
A nice side effect is that you can even share your XP FAX Service Network
wide.

If I am looking at a web page, how do I send that page as a fax using
Outlook? Now, I just print to the fax printer, which takes me into the
Send Fax wizard. Here are the steps

Click Print
Choose fax printer
Click Print
Click Next
Pick Name from Address Book
Click Next
Deselect Cover Page Option
Click Next
Click Next
Click Finish

That's 10 steps, and that's a pain to do over and over. Maybe I have
to crack open my Visual Basic book to automate this.

Different question.
You can't send a web page from Outlook. You must use the Print routine
so your document can be rendered.

Thanks. Is there a place I can ask a question about the Send Fax
wizard that opens when I print to the fax printer?

Check www.aloaha.com

Aloaha PDF Suite has a build in XP/2003 FAX Connector which means you just
embed a command like FAX: <NUMBER> into your document and press print.
The rest is being done by Aloaha then.

Yes, but I'll still be the one answering. There is nothing you can do in the
GUI to simplify this process. Windows XP Fax is a bare bones product with no
ability for customizing by the end user. You'd need to look into
programmatic solutions in one of the programming groups.

 

[BrianEWilliams]

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for taking the time to help.

You can programmatically send faxes but that will be without using Outlook
and you can avoid the Send Fax Wizard.

Refer to the code sample provided:
