How to Send Faxes From a C++ Program – M

by rickaaa12 . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

Hello,

I am developing an application which reads in data from a .txt file. This data includes fax numbers, and other information related to building order confirmation reports which are to be faxed to remote customers.

Based on my research, I have found numerous MSDN articles claiming that the best way to do what I want to do is to use MAPI to send the order confirmation reports as “messages” which are to be sent to “fax recipients.” Supposedly, if you address a message to a recipient address with the form “FAX:123-456-7890” MAPI will recognize that this message should be faxed to the recipient, instead of being e-mailed.

Unfortunately, I cannot get this to work. I get a MAPI error indicating the recipient is invalid.

Anyone have a clue about this?

Thanks,

Rick Hogan
