I have been working on a problem for a few weeks now and now to the point where I hope someone can help me find something. I have a web application pulling data from an SQL database. One of the functions of the web application is to send some information to a client by fax. Before sending this information There is a link button on the client record that first pulls up a page to allow the operator to view the information and at the bottom of that page are two buttons, one for emailing the page, which works great and then another button for faxing the page. The problem is I can not seem to find a way to get this to work with microsoft shared fax. What I need to happen is to have the fax number for the client to be automatically filled into to box of the shared fax client. Is there a way to do this. If not is there a third party utility which might help in acoomplishing my goal. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Todd,

Welcome to WW.

Theres probably some funky way of automating fax with code, but IMO why bother.

You can also subscribe a service, then just create emails [faxnumber]@accountname.providser etc

Google for "Fax API", No.3 looks ok
