Faxing from Navision with Windows Fax service

Yes, it is possible to use windows fax server. You need to change to properties of the reports that you want to fax. You need to change "ShowPrintStatus" of the report in order to use the fax service. Once this is done, fax service can be used when picking a printer. We currently do it that way.

Hi,

I've made a solution for that problem, but it's NOT based on windows fax services, because I couldn't pass any parameters to the fax engine, except manualy.

My solution is based on GFI Fax-server for sending faxes and PDF995 to create pdf. The solution will first convert the report to a pdf, so you get the same output as your printer should do. Then the pdf is sended to any faxno you want, could be directly the customer fax no if you start from sales invoice report.

It is no problem to demonstrate to you.

Not me, but see if this helps, not a programmer, but would like to have the solution myself.

And this was a sample I found online

Private Sub TestFAXCOMLib(strTestFaxNumber As String)

Dim objFaxServer As FAXCOMLib.FaxServer

Dim objFaxDocument As FAXCOMLib.FaxDoc

Dim strFILE_TO_FAX As String

Dim JobId


Set objFaxServer = New FAXCOMLib.FaxServer

objFaxServer.Connect (vbNullString)

Set objFaxDocument = objFaxServer.CreateDocument("Test")


strFILE_TO_FAX = CurrentProject.Path & "\TestFaxDocument.txt"

objFaxDocument.FileName = strFILE_TO_FAX

objFaxDocument.FaxNumber = strTestFaxNumber


objFaxDocument.Send

End Sub


Private Sub btnSEND_FAX_Click()

Call TestFAXCOMLib("416-111-1111")

End Sub[url][/url]
