Access 2K & Faxing - Missing Something

I use Access 2K and Win XP Pro Svc Pack 1. For starters, I want to click a button from a form and have a report faxed. I have fashioned my VBA code after the MS RptSample mdb example that has been pointed out in other posts I have found on T-T.

My code in the OnClick looks like:
Let FaxNo = "15551234567"
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "rptDRA_Fax", acFormatRTF, _
"[fax: " & [FaxNo] & "]", , , , , , False

When I execute this the connection dialog box for my Earthlink dial-up Internet service displays. My Printer and Faxes window shows a printer named Fax using the Microsoft Shared Fax Driver. It is said to be ready. I can invoke the Fax Console and send faxes. I am also able to send faxes from Word 2K. I have no other fax software. I have Outlook Express but have never set it up or used it.

This is probably something dumb that I am missing but I've never had a need to use the fax function for anything.
