[AccessD] Fax: code or fax app UI

Jim

...WinFax Pro provides a manual import facility that I've used successfully
with an Access mdb ...but what used to be a great piece of software has,
imnsho, gone south since Symantec bought it and I wouldn't recommend it to
anyone currently ...full of minor bugs on XP systems and the user interface
is more like Win 3 :(

Subject: [AccessD] Fax: code or fax app UI


> I have a marketing manager who needs to send a broadcast fax to 200
locations.  He has all the names and fax numbers in an Excel sheet.  I know
I can automate Winfax (which we don't have a copy of at this time but
can/will get if need be) and then I can read the names and numbers in via
VBA code and send the 200 faxes.  What I'm wondering though before we go to
work is is there a way to feed a fax app the Excel sheet as the address
list?  In other words is there a fax app (doesn't need to be Winfax) that
will accept a file as the address list?  I'm trying to avoid coding if
possible (at least for the time being).

> Also, our network guys are hard at work install an app called Faxpress
that allows desktop receipt/sending of faxes.  Does anyone here have any
experience with this product?
