I'm trying to create an option to send a fax or email a report rather then
print it. I know how to create a mail item with VBA using the outlook objects
but how do you fax?
 
Never done that, but having an all-in-one printer/fax/scanner, I would
suggest that its a matter of sending the report to the Windows printer
that is the fax. I would snoop around for articles on having a report
print to a specific printer.
 
If you don't mind being prompted for the transmission details
(addressee, phone #, etc.) for the fax, this approach will work fine.
If you want to automate the entire process, you need a fax driver with
a VBA programmer-accessible interface, which will need a bit more
research.

If you have MS Outlook installed - you can send message to
FAX:+70951234567 - it will do the rest
Code to send outlook message you can find at support.microsoft.com
 
HMMMMM....I'm liking that...possibilites arise....I should take you to a
good Irish Pub or an even better Taverna
 
I am using Outlook 2003 and this does not seem to be working.... Any other
suggestions?
 
Please check that you have "fax transport" service installed in email
accounts - services
