Send method of FaxDoc object

[BURGSTAHLER Jean-Marc]

Hello,

Using VB and the COM api for the fax services on Win 2000 Server SP4, I
simply try to send a fax.
When calling method Send of object faxdoc, I get the following message :
Error number : 8007000D, the method '~' of object '~' has failed.

Any suggestions ???

Thanks

8007000D

This error code means "The data is invalid" which is pretty large and
unspecific...

What type of file are you trying to send? I encountered similar
problems while trying to send TIFs. I managed to get around the
problems just by creating a good file association for TIF files...
might work for you.

Hi,

I am trying to simply fax a text file.

Ok... then I guess the problem should not be the file association
thing. Well maybe if you would paste your faxing code I could take a
look at it and I might spot something wrong... I am not a Fax API
expert, but I've worked with it so who knows... might be able to help.

Here is the code :

Private Sub CmdFax_Click()
Dim objFaxDocument As Object
Dim objFaxServer As Object
Dim objSender As Object
Dim JobID As Variant

'Error handling
On Error GoTo Error_Handler

LB.Clear

Set objFaxServer = CreateObject("FaxServer.FaxServer.1")
LB.AddItem ("OK <-- CreateObject Server")

'Connect to the fax server
objFaxServer.Connect "srvdev"
LB.AddItem ("OK <-- Server Connect")

Set objFaxDocument = objFaxServer.CreateDocument("c:\testfax.txt")
LB.AddItem ("OK <-- CreateDocument")

'Set the fax body
objFaxDocument.FileName = "c:\testfax.txt"
LB.AddItem ("OK <-- Filename")

'Name the document
objFaxDocument.DisplayName = "My First Fax"
objFaxDocument.FaxNumber = "123"
LB.AddItem ("OK <-- DisplayName and FaxNumber")

'Submit the document to the connected fax server
'and get back the job ID.

JobID = objFaxDocument.Send()
LB.AddItem ("OK <-- Send")

MsgBox "The Job ID is :" & JobID

objFaxServer.Disconnect

Set objFaxServer = Nothing
Set objFaxDocument = Nothing

Exit Sub

Error_Handler:
'Implement error handling at the end of your subroutine. This
implementation is for demonstration purposes
MsgBox "Error number: " & Hex(Err.Number) & ", " & Err.Description
Set objFaxServer = Nothing
Set objFaxDocument = Nothing

End Sub

Don't know if this might be your problem, but whenever I called the
"connect" method, I never passed any argument. You don't need to if
you're connecting to the fax service on the machine from which the code
runs...

I have tried wothout nothing as parameters for connect, but it doesn't work.
It gives an error because connect lacks a parameter

Hi, I have a problem with my two computers, the first one has installed the
Shared Fax Server, and the other one has installed the Shared Fax Client, so
I would like to use the connection between them using COM/API as described
below:

Dim FaxServer As Object
dim oFaxPorts as Object

Set FaxServer = CreateObject("FaxServer.FaxServer")

FaxServer.Connect ("SBS2003") 'SBS2003 is name of SBS 2003 with Shared
Fax Server
Set oFaxPorts = FaxServer.GetPorts



The problem occur when I use the 'GetPorts' method, that returns the
following error:

Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
Method 'GetPorts' of object 'IFaxServer' failed

I can use this Shared Fax Server from my workstation using Outlook2003 and
Word 2003

Thanks

I guess the problem is with the following line

It should instead be
objFaxDocument.FileName = "c:\\testfax.txt"

Two backslashes.
