FaxComLib on Win 2k

Bob

Hi,
Has anyone succeeded iin getting Faxing to work on FrameWork 1.1 running on
a Win 2k box.
The example code in the help fails.
I adapted it to the sniippet below but FaxDoc.send is returning invalid
data.
This is a cross post from dotnet.languages.vb because I saw in that in the
archives of this group somelse had the same problem in C#.
Essentially I can't send 'simple' FAXes. ie Make a text file and send it.
I can send 'complicated' faxes ie. Make a word doc fill it with the info and
fax it.
A real basic question.
How do I fax a simple text file?
thanks
bob
***CODE SNIPPET****
Dim FaxServer As New FAXCOMLib.FaxServer

Dim FaxDoc As FAXCOMLib.FaxDoc

Dim strFaxFile As String

Dim strDirectory As String

Dim fs As FileStream

Dim intResult As Int32

Dim strFaxnumber As String = "1,4555555"

strDirectory = "c:\temp\FAX"

strFaxFile = strDirectory & "\Notify" & Now().ToFileTime & ".txt"

If Not (File.Exists(strFaxFile)) Then

fs = File.Create(strFaxFile)

Dim info As Byte() = New UTF8Encoding(True).GetBytes("Test Message from
Bob")

fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length)

fs.Close()

Else

End If

FaxServer.Connect(Environment.MachineName)

FaxDoc = CType(FaxServer.CreateDocument(strFaxFile), FAXCOMLib.FaxDoc)

FaxDoc.RecipientName = "Tester"

FaxDoc.FaxNumber = strFaxnumber

intResult = FaxDoc.Send *****Error Here. Data invalid"

FaxServer.Disconnect()

End Sub

Hi,
Fixed.
It was as simple as registering the .txt extension back to notepad. (it was
registered to my 3rd party text editor.
Thanks
Bob
