Is there a way to set a report such that the user can fax (by group) with one click of the print command button.This report is grouped by customers with differing fax numbers.
 
So do you want to send different pages to different Customers depending on which group they are in.<br>Do you want FAX to differnt people and use their FAX number in the database?<br>Not very easy.<br>What FAX program are you using?<br>WinFAX Pro will let you send DDE links to it, but its not for the faint at heart.<br><br>The built in FAX program that comes with Windows does not have the ability to interact with anything.<br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
 
I am having the same problem with not much luck.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a data base set up with customers and their areas of work.&nbsp;&nbsp;when I have a project that includes their area I would like to fax them a form saying.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey I have a job are you interested.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am having no luck!!!&nbsp;&nbsp;You can do it through WinFax Pro and that is what I am probably going to end up doing.&nbsp;&nbsp;But you really can not esprt all the data in the exact format you need it in.&nbsp;&nbsp;Depending on your fax delima you may be able to set up an automatic mail merge to Word and use the fax option in there to determine the fax number field and send out that way.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let me know if you solve it I am reacking my brain over this one.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
I have a report that prints jobs for different customers and the ideal is to fax to each customer these available jobs.My thought was to use the inbuilt windows program to fax.DougP,can you throw me some pointers on how I could use Winfax Pro to achieve this.I'm gonna do a little research here.
