    Hi all.

    Ok really simple thing then.. I tried using Winfax with an HTML attachment in VBA from Word (since VBA is virtually identical to VB) but with no success.

    Here’s the code, I have hooked up to a button in Word:

    Private Sub TestFax_Click()
    Set objWinfaxSend = CreateObject(“WinFax.SDKSend”)
    objWinfaxSend.SetCoverText “Invoice Attached”
    objWinfaxSend.SetSubject “Invoice ” & InvId
    objWinfaxSend.SetDeleteAfterSend 1
    objWinfaxSend.SetCountryCode “”
    objWinfaxSend.SetAreaCode “”
    objWinfaxSend.SetNumber “whatever”
    objWinfaxSend.SetTo “CusName”
    objWinfaxSend.AddAttachmentFile “C:test.html”
    objWinfaxSend.AddRecipient
    ret = objWinfaxSend.Send(0)
    ‘ was there an error?
    If ret <> 0 Then
    MsgBox “There was an Error”, vbOKOnly
    Else
    MsgBox “Fax has been sent!”, vbInformation
    End If
    objWinfaxSend.Done
    Set objWinfaxSend = Nothing

    End Sub

    I tried WinFaxSDK.Send and the same with 8.0 on the end to the same effect: Netscape 6.2’s splash screen appears but then WinFax says ‘printing failed you have to launch the app and choose print yourself’…

    Anyone had any luck with Netscape 6.2? I have the same problems with Mozilla 0.9.9…

    BTW some background: I ultimately don’t want to do this in Word, I will be doing it in Java with the JACOB bridge but I wanted to check that it worked from VB first and then translate it (Jacob is JVM-independent API for supporting Microsoft extensions for java).

    Re: Internet Explorer always asking for the print dialog to send html, this isn’t necessarily true. Through OLE you can ask Internet Explorer to print without user interaction. Here’s the pseudocode:

    IWebBrowser2.ExecWB(IDM_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER);

    I’m not an OLE guru — is there a way to modify the WinFax method so it uses this nice convenient ‘Dont Prompt User’ option?

    One question relating to using the printer driver — how do you then specify the phone number to send to progammatically?

    What I want to do actually is fax an HTML document programmatically from the server — what’s the best way to do this then?
