How to fax from a MS Access form?

I'm trying to create an option to send a fax or email a report rather then
print it. I know how to create a mail item with VBA using the outlook objects
but how do you fax?

Never done that, but having an all-in-one printer/fax/scanner, I would
suggest that its a matter of sending the report to the Windows printer
that is the fax. I would snoop around for articles on having a report
print to a specific printer.

If you have MS Outlook installed - you can send message to
FAX:+70951234567 - it will do the rest
Code to send outlook message you can find at support.microsoft.com
