Programmatic Fax Problems

Y

Yanir

I've been developing a asp.net site that sends a fax generated by a
script. I use the faxcomex object to send the fax.

I create an html file and save it with a .doc extension attatch it to
the body when I call the script. When the script is executed word
launches and prints to the fax-modem and it's on it's way. This works
with other applications that support the print verb command.

One problem is when I copy the files to my test IIS from the debug IIS.
the page just hangs.

here is my fax function:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim faxServer As New Object
Dim faxDocument As New Object

faxServer = CreateObject("FAXCOMEX.FaxServer")
faxDocument = CreateObject("FAXCOMEX.Faxdocument")
faxServer.connect("")
faxDocument.body = "c:\temp_proposal.doc"
faxDocument.documentname = "Felix Storch Proposal"
faxDocument.Recipients.Add(faxnum)
Dim JobID = faxDocument.ConnectedSubmit(faxServer)
faxServer = Nothing
faxDocument = Nothing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suspect it may be a permissions problem but I gave asp.net and IUSR
administrative access to see if that resolved it and nothing.

Additionaly, I plan to put this on my windows 2003 server which doesn't
have word or other applications to launch to execute the print, I
wouldn't those aps constantly launching anyway.
Any suggestions for either problem would be greatly appreciated.
