This describes a simple code to configure Small Business Server (SBS) 4.5 and SBS 2000 to send faxes by using the Microsoft Shared Fax Client component.
To programmatically send a fax using Shared Fax Client, you can use the Microsoft Outlook programming model. The code to configure SBS to send a fax by using Shared Fax Client is similar to the code we use to configure Outlook to send an e-mail messages except for the format of the "To" address. The "To" address must be in the following format, where xxx-xxxx is the phone number that you want to dial:
WITH myOLItem
.To = "[fax: 555 111-2222]"
.Subject = "Fax Subject"
.Body = "This is a sample fax."
** Just like in Outlook, an attachment can be added by
** inserting:
.Attachments.Add("C:\TEMP\sample.doc")
ENDWITH
myOLItem.Send
RELEASE myOLApp
RELEASE myOLItem
************************
All that is required to accomplish this task is to include a Fax Mail Transport in your Outlook profile. For Outlook 2002, go to Tools|E-mail Accounts|Add a new e-mail account|Additional Server Types|Fax Mail Transport. For Outlook 2000, go to Tools|Services and add the Fax Mail Transport there.
