Hi anyone and everyone..

I have a simple contacts form, Name, address, telephone no and fax number.

I want to click a button that activates XP's built in fax program and for it to automatically include my contacts fax number from my form. Is this possible?

At the moment, I successfully send word documents and access reports by selecting my printer MS Fax. But i have to always enter my recipient from my Windows address book dialogue which comes up or the dialogue that access throws up. All my contacts are in my database and i would like the fax program or access to see the fax number of the contact i am currenly in and launch the fax program or access to have my recipient and their fax number already in the To: line either when i click a button.

Is this possible?
regards to all
