[AccessD] FAXing from Access 2002 using Windows XP FAX

I need to FAX snapshot files (.snp) programmatically (VBA) from an Access 2002 application, using Windows XP FAX.

I set-up the Windows XP FAX service on my laptop and created an email account within MS Outlook using server type Fax Mail Transport.  Using the Send FAX Wizard, I successfully sent a FAX (manually keying in the recipient's name, FAX#, etc.)

On my laptop, my default email client is Outlook Express.  The Access application will reside on a PC with Lotus Notes as the default email client (although MS Outlook will also be installed on the PC).

Will I be able to issue a SendObject command to send a FAX?  I see in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;145787 that SendObject was used with Microsoft FAX (which was replaced with Windows XP FAX)

Any other problems that I might encounter with Lotus Notes as the default email client?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Barb Ryan
