Fax annoyance

L

lmv

When I open my report and then right mouse to get to print then go to fax by
the time I get to the fax I have forgotten the number the report needs to be
faxed to and unlike word it doesn't search for a phone number and fill in the
box. SO, I have created a form that comes up the same time as the report with
the fax number focused so I can copy and paste. BUT, it is not getting the
same filtered information as the report. Can someone tell me how to call the
form at the same time as the report WITH the same filtered info? Both the
report and the faxform are based on the same qry.
I tried below but it doesn't filter properly. I also tried with the filter
below the form again but it doesn't work either. By the way is there any way
to have this trigger only IF someone goes to the fax option in the windows
drop down?
The cmd button is on the OrderWDetails form...
Thanx!!

Here's some code posted 5 or 6 years ago with some modifications by me which
works with WinFax. I haven't tested it since then on newer versions of
Access WinFax or Windows:

Optional blnLocal As Boolean = False, _

Optional strFilter As String)

On Error GoTo Error_Handler

Dim objFax As Object
Dim strAC As String
Dim strFax As String
Dim strDate As String
Dim strTime As String

DoCmd.SetWarnings False

Set objFax = CreateObject("WinFax.SDKSend")

If Len(strPrefix) > 0 Then strPrefix = strPrefix & ","
If Len(strSuffix) > 0 Then strSuffix = ",," & strSuffix

If blnLocal Then
strFax = strPrefix & Mid(strFaxNumber, 4, 7) & strSuffix
Else
strFax = strPrefix & strCntryCode & strFaxNumber & strSuffix
End If

strDate = CStr(Date)
strTime = Format(DateAdd("h", intDelay, Time), "hh:nn:ss")

If Val(Left(strTime, 2)) < Val(Left(Time, 2)) _
Then strDate = CStr(Date + 1)

With objFax
.SetDate (strDate)

Thanks my VBA is too basic to understand how to use this and since "if"
(which I don't know how to determine) I have winfax I don't know what to do
to change the code to work with XP and for the moment I just need to be able
to get the form to filter to the same info as my report. Maybe later I can
figure out how to apply what you gave me to XP...

If you can point me to some additional information in how to use the code
I'd appreciate the direction.
Thanks

I no longer have WinFax, and, in fact, email everything now as a PDF file,
so all I can do is give you some general help.

Put both of those functions in a standard module, and add a command button
to your form. In the command button's code call the function something like
this:

Sub cmdFAX_Click()
SendWinFax(Me.txtFaxNumber, "Report Name", Me.txtFullName)
End Sub

Which should be enough to get it going.

Thanks for the suggestions. Since I don't have WinFax I have set the reports
that are necessary to be faxed to print to the "fax -printer" and I figured
out how to filter the other form so I have the phone number accessable.

Thanks anyway!
