Forms & Faxes

Is there a way when I create an order form in Frontpage
2003, that when the user hits the submit button, the form
results can be sent to a fax machine rather than to a
database or email address??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Erika,

You won't be able to do this using the built-in form handling of FrontPage.
What you need is a custom application that can process form results and
generate the faxes for you. I'm not aware of any products that do this, but
I've never looked for one, either. Give Google a try.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I think you would need to send that to a custom page. A
quick google search for ASP FAX SCRIPT netted this result-
it may have what you need.

yes you can.
it'll be a bit of a contraption but here's what I did for someone a while
ago and it works OK.
do your form with FrontPage and have it go to a special email address. on
the computer that receives that email (I sent it to their main desktop and
configured outlook to take it. the office admin configured either outlook
rules and an app called hotfax (or something like that) from
http://www.smithmicro.com/

it wasn't the loveliest thing but it worked. why is it you want to do this.
don't forget if you're emailing form results like credit card numbers or
other personal stuff you're doing the wrong thing. ;-)

then you can use the fp form and look into outlook rules to make it forward
all emails (with something unique in the subject line that you specify in
your fp form) by fax, or the smithmicro.com program.
