Embedd Fax number?

S

Steveo

I have an application that outputs to a .txt file. Is
there any way I can embed a fax number within the .txt
file so that the fax service will dial the number
automatically and not bring up the fax wizard?


Thanks

There is no simple solution of this kind. But I suggest you to create a
simple program, which hardwires the number you want to dial and the .txt
file, and use it to send the fax. If you are comfortable with VB
programming, you can refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fax/faxusing_27co.asp
for a sample code, which sends a simple .txt file. You probably want to copy
that and change the c:\Docs\Body.txt and change 12225550100 to the number
you want dial, and adjust other properties there.
