I googled "VBScript Send Fax" today and got an excellent example:
http://sandlerco.com/VBScript.htm
http://sandlerco.com/fspfaq.htm
Update: Microsoft Documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686957(v=VS.85).aspx
But the site seems to be bouncing / unavailable so before it goes offline I have dragged the example out of the cache so I have it for monday:
Sub CheckError(strDetails)
Dim strErr
If Err.Number <> 0 then
strErr = strDetails & " : Exception " & Err.Description & " err.Number=0x" & Hex(Err.Number)
WScript.Echo strErr
WScript.Quit(Err.Number)
End If
End Sub
'For Windows XP and above
On Error Resume Next
Set FaxServer = WScript.CreateObject("FAXCOMEX.FaxServer")
CheckError("WScript.CreateObject(FAXCOMEX.FaxServer)")
WScript.Echo "FaxServer created"
' Connect to the fax server. Specify computer name if the server is remote. See How to connect to a remote Fax Service for details.
FaxServer.Connect ""
CheckError("FaxServer.Connect")
Set FaxDoc = WScript.CreateObject("FAXCOMEX.FaxDocument")
CheckError("WScript.CreateObject(FAXCOMEX.FaxDocument)")
' Set file name of any printable document.
FaxDoc.Body = "test.rtf"
CheckError("FaxDoc.Body")
FaxDoc.DocumentName = "My First Fax"
' Add recipient's fax number. If this string contains a canonical fax number
' (starting with plus + followed by a country code, an area code in round brackets
' surrounded by spaces and a fax number), the Fax Service will translate
' that number into dialable format in accordance with your current location.
' Otherwise, make sure the international prefix or long distance prefix is specified when needed,
' as the fax number will be passed on to a fax driver (Fax Service Provider) unchanged.
' For example, sending a fax from San Francisco to Sydney's fax number 123456, the canonical address
' +61 (2) 123456 will be translated into dialable address 011612123456.
' If you are using T37FSP in conjunction with Internet Fax Service, specify absolute address
' 612123456 (without leading plus, to avoid translation into dialable format),
' as most Internet Fax Services expect the number in the absolute format.
' To take advantage of Windows Fax Service outbound routing available on Windows Server
' fax address must be specified in canonical format.
FaxDoc.Recipients.Add ("612123456")
' Optionally, set the sender properties.
' T37FSP uses only FaxDoc.Sender.Email in Windows Server 2003 for delivery status notifications.
' In Windows Server 2008, T37FSP derives email address from FaxDoc.Sender.Name via facsBridge.xml file.
FaxDoc.Sender.Email = "[email protected]"
FaxDoc.Sender.Name = "Bob"
FaxDoc.Sender.FaxNumber = "7777777"
' Optionally, Use FaxDoc.CoverPage and FaxDoc.CoverPageType to specify a cover page
' FaxDoc.CoverPage = generic
' FaxDoc.CoverPageType = 2
' Optionally, you can control banner in outbound faxes
FaxServer.Folders.OutgoingQueue.Branding = True ' True to set banner on, False to set banner off
FaxServer.Folders.OutgoingQueue.Save ' Make the change persistent
' Optionally, use FaxServer.Folders.OutgoingQueue.Retries and
' FaxServer.Folders.OutgoingQueue.RetryDelay to control retries
' Submit the document to the connected fax server and get back the job ID.
JobID = FaxDoc.ConnectedSubmit(FaxServer)
CheckError("FaxDoc.ConnectedSubmit")
WScript.Echo "FaxDoc.ConnectedSubmit success"
