This should prove to be a challenge. We have a legacy DOS application running on an NT 4.0 server with Win 98 workstations. Before upgrading to a Windows envionrment we had a program that would capture printer output directed to LPT3 and send a fax. The program provided a way to send it the phone number to dial, the cover sheet to use and the message to be sent on the cover sheet and other documents. It no longer works under our new NT/Windows enviornment. We’ve established MS Fax on the NT server and all of the worstations can access it.
I’m looking for a way to capture print jobs from the DOS program and get them to FAX in the Windows enviornment. Better yet, a capture program that will allow me to tell it what phone numberto give the FAX sending program seperate from the actual FAX.
I could take the data from the DOS program and export in comma delimited format and then import into Word and create a VBA script to fill in the fax portion. This would take a lot of operator involve
