If your only problem is that you're standing in the record, why not post all the data you need to a record in a temp file and then send the fax from that record?<div><br></div><div>Dan Bauer<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I am "back from the dead" so to speak, and back on my VSIFAX project from<br>
ages ago! My original problem -- that of sending a properly formatted FAX<br>
from a report format, specifically a statement -- was resolved. What I<br>
thought would be the easier problem has me stumped so far.<br>
<br>
I need to "send" a quote or invoice as a FAX. As I have not gotten<br>
satisfactory results from a printer interface and the lp -d fax2 etc etc<br>
script, but have had excellent success with the vfx commend, that is the<br>
approach I have been using.<br>
<br>
So in writing a process that utilizes the "system" command to run a "report"<br>
against a single record, I find that the process will not work, even with<br>
-u, as I am still in the record from which I wish to create the "report".<br>
And so a thought I had was to "print" the output to a file using the "FORM"<br>
command, or something similar. Once created, it is easy to send off in a<br>
FAX!<br>
<br>
Or perhaps I am just looking at this all wrong and need some input to set me<br>
straight!<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
