Sending Faxes

[Domini]

Hia All,

I need some help creating faxes through VB.Net.

 

Now, I've gathered the the function to send faxes will resemble something like this:

 

Private Sub CreateFax()

Try
           Dim objFaxDocument As New FAXCOMEXLib.FaxDocument
           Dim objFaxServer As New FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServer
           Dim JobID As Object

           objFaxServer.Connect("bhm-lapt")
           objFaxDocument.Body = "C:\Dev\Test.txt"
           objFaxDocument.DocumentName = "My First Fax"
           'objFaxDocument.Recipients.Add("0866953105", "Bud")
           objFaxDocument.Recipients.Add("0123456989", "Barend")
           objFaxDocument.AttachFaxToReceipt = True
           objFaxDocument.Note = "Here is the info you requested"
           objFaxDocument.Subject = "Today's fax"
           JobID = objFaxDocument.ConnectedSubmit(objFaxServer)
           MsgBox("The Job ID is :" & JobID(0))

       Catch ex As Exception
           MsgBox("Error number: " & Hex(Err.Number) & ", " & Err.Description)
       End Try
end Sub

 

 

Firstly, I found that I require the fxscomex.dll in order to use the FAXCOMEXLib. Sadly this dll was nowhere to be found on my system.

 

Then I found out that I need to create a Fax Account before the fxscomex.dll will be created.

 

So finally in attempting to Create a fax account, I found to my disgust that nothing resembling a Fax Account/Fax Service setup existed on my system (Windows Vista Home Premium). The Menu Item Windows Scan and Fax does not exist.:confused:

 

I then thought perhaps it's a Windows Program that needs to be installed under Add/Remove Windows Features...but no.

 

If anyone can help me out with this I would truly appreciate it!

 

P.S. I was able to create a fax onther machine (XP), but the fax remains in my outbox stating that No dial tone was found...

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nevermind above Thread, I have just found out that Fax services are not available on Vista Home editions...
