Have you selected correct "default" device as fax-type through control
panel -> printers & faxes? More than one printer-compatible device/
device profiles may have caused this.

I suggest to post details how you are sending the data to the FAX.

I recommend you to search for printdialog.showdialog() inside your
code to see when it's fired which may help to fix the bug.

'Dim objSender As FaxSender
Dim JobID As Object

objFaxServer.Connect("swords-PC")

objFaxServer.ListenToServerEvents(FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM.fsetOUT_QUEUE)
objFaxDocument.Body = "c:\shaw.html"
objFaxDocument.DocumentName = "My First Fax"
objFaxDocument.Recipients.Add("xxxxxxxx", "Sanderson")
objFaxDocument.AttachFaxToReceipt = True
objFaxDocument.Note = "Here is the info you requested"
objFaxDocument.Subject = "Today's fax"
'Set the receipt type to email
objFaxDocument.ReceiptAddress = "neil.shaw@xxxxxxxxxx"
'objFaxDocument.ReceiptType =

objFaxDocument.ReceiptType =

objFaxDocument.CoverPageType =

objFaxDocument.CoverPage = "Cover Page.cov"


JobID = objFaxDocument.ConnectedSubmit(objFaxServer)

I guess you are using "Fax Service Extended COM API". Is this assumption
correct?

Maybe you are referring to the behavior described in the article below,
which is "by design":
