I was looking for code to fax on VBC. found some fax stuff but people had some problems. Hopefully this solves it. It worked for me. Put this code in a Class Module.
VBcodersPrivate Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Public Function Fax(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal FaxNumber As String)
Dim FaxServer As Object
Dim FaxDoc As Object
Dim ComputerName As String
ComputerName = String(50, Chr(0))
Call GetComputerName(ComputerName, 50)
ComputerName = Trim(Replace(ComputerName, Chr(0), ""))
Set FaxServer = CreateObject("FaxServer.FaxServer")
FaxServer.Connect ("\\" & ComputerName)
Set FaxDoc = FaxServer.CreateDocument(FileName)
With FaxDoc
.FaxNumber = FaxNumber
.Send
End With
Set FaxDoc = Nothing
Set FaxServer = Nothing
End Function
