Ok,
Here is something new for me. I have never worked with OLE stuff. Please
forgive my ignorance about this. This is my avocation, not my vocation.
Liz and a few others gave me some help a few weeks ago when I asked about
faxing to WinFax. She essentially posted a template which is pretty easy to
follow.

My question is the following:
In the statement:
if oaSend.open("WinFax.SDKSend") then

How do I make sure that the Winfax server is active? Does Winfax Pro need to
be running all the time?
Is the WinFax.send something running in the background or is that a file?
(if it is a file do I need to make and use an alias?)
I used enumServerClassNames and found a boatload of servers on my PC at
home. However, I don't have WinFAXPro at home. The hospital has put
WinFaxPro on the PC we will be using for this app. I will run that in the
working PC and see if it shows up...

Thanks,

Craig

WinFax just needs to be installed, not running. That if statement is
kind of like opening a library.

One other question:

In the statement:
oaSend.SetCoverFile("Full path to coverfile")
Can I assume the following:
1) You can't use aliases
2) Do I need to use a double slash?
ex. C:\\testdir\\coverfile.rsl
Thanks, again
Craig

oaSend.SetCoverFile(getaliaspath("ath_to_file:") +"\\filename.ext")

Yes, double backslashes required.

Just to be clear, by getaliaspath("ath_to_file:") Tony probably means
getaliaspath(":alias_name:")

I went to the PC where Winfax Pro is installed and ran the command:
enumServerClassNames as written in the paradox helpfiles.
I got a lnice ist of a lot of servers, none of them WinFax servers
I believe they are using Version 10.x (Win2000)
WinFax Pro is running on the PC and there is the little yellow telephone
icon in the tray.
There is very little documentation on the Symmantec Web site.
Does anyone have any experience about how to get the server running?
Thanks,
Craig

Try enumAutomationServers instead.

And note, the subject entry isn't always named what you think it should be.

You may need to write out the resulting dynarray to a text file, and then
search the text file, to find what you are looking for.
