fax questionCan I send faxes using fxscomex.dll without being on a network?
Examples I have seen are like: objFaxServer.Connect("LAB1-STU15"), which appears to be the name of a network fax server. If it requires a network, does XP Pro have anything else I could use? Bill You need a connection to telephony of some form to send a fax regardless of
what fax solution you try and use - either over the network to a fax service, or via dial-up.

the Fax printer and the fax setup dialog comes up. You can connect to this fax server on a non-connected PC, however it would need to have a phone line connection via modem in order to actually send a fax.

I have a dialup connection to the internet, but I do not have a fax machine, I was assuming that fxscomex.dll is a fax server that would operate on a local machine to send faxes by giving it a file name and phone number. If that is correct, then I am still stuck on what to enter for the Connect method. Also, I need to send the fax to someone else's fax machine, not to their computer. Is this possible from VB?

you still need a modem installed so you can dial out and connect to another fax. No network connection and no modem = no fax. Simple. You can read in the XP help about installing the fax printer which you need to do to use the faxcomex library.
