Auto Fax when "printing" a Report

[ML]

This may have been answered lately, but I have not been able to access this
group for some time.

I am using Access 2000 and Outlook 2000. (Can move to 2002 or 2003 if
necessary).

Certain reports will always need to be faxed to the same recipient.
The latest security patches to Outlook seem to have crippled the use of
SendObject etc....

I want the user to "press the print button" and for the generated report
XXX, to be immediately faxed to Person A at 1234 5678 with cover sheet
AAAAA.

I also need to be able to open word docs from within Access (as copies of a
template), allow users to modify them and then to also "auto fax" them.

I've just spent the last 12 hours going round in circles and looking at
groups and resource sites and have not found an answer.
( I have found the question many times).

I have seen something called "outlook redemption" and found a product which
"when combined with winfax pro" allegedly allows the auto-fax of word docs.

If you have the answer(s) please help me out.

TIA

I have used WinFax Pro with excellent results. This was with A97 but I
doubt there would be any problem with later versions.
BTW, EBay usually has a lot of WinFax Pro available for a good price.
Just make sure you have the latest version - 10.x I think. for WinXp.

I modified some code provided by Michael Blake (which was based on
some code by John McKee). It can be found at...

Thanks Jim,

I've downloaded the fax2k system and it looks good.
It looks like I'll need to buy WinFax Pro and the Word extension from
GetFaxing.

Shame that there appears to be nothing that is available inside
Access/Word/Outlook - as delivered.
