Hi,

I have created some code to Fax an Access Report.

I really believe this to be a Windows Server 2003 Permissions issue but
couldn't find and appropriate Managed Newsgroup.

The Client Computer is using:

- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Access 2003, SP3
- Member of the Domain

The Fax Services is installed on:

- Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition, SP2
- Member of the Domain

From the Client Computer, the User can Fax:

- an Access Report by opening it up and Printing the Fax Share on the
Server where Fax Services is installed

- Using the Fax Console on the Client

I have a module that uses the following objects:

- FaxComEx.FaxDocument
- FaxComEx.FaxServer

After proper initialization, when the FaxComEx.FaxDocument.ConnectedSubmit
Method is invoked, I get "Access Denied"

WORKAROUND:

If I add the Client Computer User to the Local Administrators Group on the
Fax Services Server, it works successfully.


RESOLUTIONS TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS:

- Give the user permissions to the directories on the Fax Service Server in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows
NT\MSFax

I have run SysInternals ProcMon but nothing jumped out me.



Anyone have any Ideas as to what needs to be configured?

Thanks,

Doug
 
Hi Douglas,
From your description, this issue seems most likely related to permission
on your Fax Server. From my research, I found the following description in
the article, http://www.microsoft.com/speech/community/tips.mspx:
==============================================
If the fax server is running on a computer that is running Windows Server
2003,
remote fax client computers cannot access the fax server through the Fax
Services Extended COM API until you:
1. Share the "fax printer" on the computer running Windows Server 2003.
2. Add the "fax printer" to the remote fax client computer.
==============================================

Please first check if you had done these two steps before. You may also
want the following references:

Hi,

None of those seem to be the problem.

I guess I will have to try CSS.

Thanks,

Doug

I found an archived posting in the Windows 2000 Fax Newsgroup from June of
2005, "Error 80070005 Acccess denied - URGENT!", that had a solution:

On the Fax Server

- Administrative Tools
- Computer Management
- Services and Applications
- Fax
- Properties
- Security Tab
- Advanced Button
- Everyone
- Edit
- Submit high priority faxes

I was sending the faxes with High Priority.
