AW: Re: Problem by sendig a fax

[Peter Haider]

Hi,

this is the problem once more:

..... struggle with a problem using windows 2000 small business server
(SP4) - fax server
running under my ASP web application (using faxcom.dll version 1.0)

The sending of an fax - like the example below - works manually very well
(with file open and print to the fax printer from the desktop) - logged on
as a normal user.

But my code under ASP doesnt work (access rights for directory, to read the
file and to access to the fax server is given for the IUSER... - anonymous
user)

Here is the ASP / VB Script Code:

Dim Faxserver
Dim FaxDoc
Dim JobNo
Dim Filename

Set Faxserver = Server.Createobject("Faxserver.Faxserver")
both cases the same result / error
FaxServer.Connect("gericom.sbs.office") / FaxServer.Connect("")

Filename = server.MapPath("Orders/10173.pdf")
Set FaxDoc = FaxServer.CreateDocument(Filename)

FaxDoc.SendCoverpage = 0
FaxDoc.RecipientName = "Arnold"
FaxDoc.SenderName = "Peter"
FaxDoc.FaxNumber = "12345678"
FaxDoc.SenderFax = "87654321"
JobNo = FaxDoc.Send()
Set FaxDoc = Nothing
FaxServer.Disconnect()
Set FaxServer = Nothing

When i start this programm, the system seams to hang and after a short time,
there appears an error 0x8007000D (Data is invalid??) at the line
FaxDoc.Send()

If i change the File from the "10173.pdf" to "sample.txt" it doesnt stop,
but i do not see the faxjob in the faxqueue (anything to do with the
extension???)

Has anyone of you a tip for me?

Best Regards Peter Haider

Let's stop this thread. This query is already being tackled on the other

Raghavendra,

i think, that i moved a step forwards; but only one step :-((

I did following:

1) Configured the office component as described in the article (dcom)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;288366

2) tested with following code in my asp / vbscript application....

Dim A2kApp
Dim A2kCmd
Set A2kApp = Server.createObject("Access.Application")
A2kApp.OpenCurrentDatabase
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapplication\database\myaccessdb.mdb"
Set A2kCmd = A2kApp.DoCmd
A2kCmd.OpenReport "mylabels" (the standard printer driver was an PDF printer
driver)
Set A2kapp = Nothing
Set A2kCmd = Nothing

The report "mylabels" had an function inside, which sent the genereated
output (in pdf form)
to the fax service - WITHOUT any problem.

So, what is the difference between:
- acting directly with the faxserver in my script and
- acting with the faxserver over an office component??

An answer would help me great!!

Best regards
Peter Haider

Sorry Peter, I think I'm helpless here unless I can repro the problem
my-self. But I don't have ASP expertise. Last thing I can ask you to try is
to ensure the Fax Service ACL has the following ACEs (as listed in the
article you sent)
SYSTEM
INTERACTIVE
Everyone
Administrators
IUSR_<machinename>*
IWAM_<machinename>*

* These accounts exist only if IIS is installed on the computer.

Make sure that all these accounts got Send Fax permission on Fax Server.
