Sending a Fax in VB.net

hello, i have a form and I need it to send a fax when the user presses
send. Can someone please show me the best way to do this, im fairly
new at VB, (only 16) so all help is greatly appreciated!!! Right now I
have 4 text fields on my form.
The "To" text field is called strFaxNumber
The "Subject" is called strSubject
The "body" is called strBody
and the attachment part is called txtattachment

PLEASE! all help is grealy appreciated!

im finishing up a project someone else already started and they had
this function put in it under the email form.

Public Function SendOutlookFax(ByVal strFaxNumber As String, ByVal
strSubject As String, ByVal strBody As String) As String
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objFax As Object
Dim strFileName As String

On Error GoTo ErrCheck

objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
objFax = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)

With objFax
.To = "[Fax:" & strFaxNumber & "]"
.Subject = strSubject
.Body = strBody
If Len(strFileName) Then
If Len(Dir$(strFileName)) Then
.Attachments.Add(strFileName)
End If
End If

.Send()

End With

objFax = Nothing
objOutlook = Nothing

SendOutlookFax = "" 'Return success
Exit Function

ErrCheck:
'Failed, return error description
SendOutlookFax = "Error in SendOutlookFax: " & Err.Description
End Function

I do not know if this will work, and i do not know how to call it from
that email form, to the form for the fax. Thank you!
