Can you fax a document automatically - from within a program ?

[Puneesh Kumar]

Hi,

I am trying to fax a document from within a program.

The program should be able to specify the fax number and the filename, and
the document should be faxed to the destination.

Does anyone know of a way in which such a feature can be achieved.

I do NOT want any pop-up window. Everything should be like a command from
withing a program.

Any insight into this will be appreciated.

Thanks
Puneesh

You could look at COM interfaces (on Windows 2000) or the extended COM
interfaces for Windows XP and above.
You can find more information on the COM interfaces at

For information on extended COM interfaces, check
