FaxGetJob and jobid's

[Sean Capstick]

I have successfully implemented sending a fax into our software but I'm
having a problem retrieving the status. When I submit a fax, I get back a
job number. The first number was 1, and it's always going up by 1 each time
I send. Seems fine. If I call GetFaxJob though for any of those IDs, I get
an invalid parameter error. If I go into the fax console and look at the
properties on a fax, it displays JobID's like 0x0201c5fa84b842a6. Here's
the code in case I did something wrong. Are the job id's in the fax
console right or should they be 1,2,3... like the ones I got when submitting
the fax?

HANDLE hFaxServer;
PFAX_JOB_ENTRY pFJE;

if (!FaxConnectFaxServer("", &hFaxServer))
{
writeOutputString("MSFax - Unable To Connect To Server\n");
return;
}

if (FaxGetJob(hFaxServer, nJobID, &pFJE))
{
// do stuff, never gets here
}

In VB ..

JobID = objFaxDocument.ConnectedSubmit(objFaxServer)

MsgBox "The Job ID is :" & JobID(0)
Exit Sub

If it does not return a hex number use the Hex() function

Have you got this resolved, or do you still need help?

Well. it still doesn't work as it should but by putting my own number
into one of the text fields, I can track the faxes. There's definately a
lot of problems with this fax system, I don't know if MS plans to fix them.

Could you post a code snippet around the place where you submit a job and
then try to open it?
Also, what OS are you using?
