Given a WORD document (C:\FAX.doc), I need to write a program able to send this file to a FAX machine (or possibly a FAX MODEM, there should be a difference).
I have a text file (numbers.txt) which contain a list of fax numbers, I read in from this file to get the required dialer information and want to send a copy of FAX.doc to each in an automated fashion.
The only problem I am having is - how do I send a FAX.DOC (Microsoft Word Document file) to an actual FAX machine?
The application will be designed to work on WindowsXP with a FAX/MODEM attached.
If possible I would like for it to run on Windows2000 also but only if it does not make life any more difficult.
Any help, hints, or ideas would be greatly appreciated - I am not sure where to start, how to create an object to the FAX, and how to send the DATA..?
(btw - not sure if it helps, but I could always convert the .doc to .pdf if it makes life any simpler)
