Send a fax

[Klartigue]

Is there a way to fax something via the computer? Such as setting something up as an attachment to an email (see below vba) but instead of sending the attachment in an email could it fax it to a certain fax number?

Sub SendMail() 
    Dim oOutlook As Object 
    Dim oMailItem As Object 
    Dim oRecipient As Object 
    Dim oNameSpace As Object 
    Dim Lastrow As Long 
    Dim bodyText As String 
    Dim i As Long 
     
     
    Set oOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") 
    Set oNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI") 
    oNameSpace.Logon , , True 
     
     
    Set oMailItem = oOutlook.CreateItem(0) 
     
    With oMailItem 
         
        Set oRecipient = .Recipients.Add("klartigue@avalonadvisors.com") 
        oRecipient.Type = 1 
         
        .Subject = "Avalon Trade Allocations Attached" 
         
        .body = "Please see the attached trade allocations." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ 
        "Let me know if you need anything else." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ 
        "Thanks, " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ 
        "Katherine Lartigue " & vbNewLine & _ 
        "klartigue@avalonadvisors.com 713-238-2088" 
         
        .Attachments.Add ("G:\Katherine Lartigue\Allocations\Merrill Lynch Trades.xls") 
        .Send 
    End With 
     
End Sub

I have somethiing like this but it says I need a fax service. Is there a way to go about this without using a fax service?

Sub Fax() 
     
    ActiveWorkbook.SendFaxOverInternet _ 
    "Thomas Giles @ 17132382051", _ 
    "Please process the enclosed trade ticket. Thanks, Katherine Lartigue ", True 
     
End Sub

And i did make sure that on excel, the windows fax feature is enabled.

Just send it to MSWord and then print to your fax printer.

I am trying to fax to an outside source so if I print to my fax printer, at what point do i enter the outside fax # im trying to fax to?

Like all print operations, you will get a print dialog. You can probably use SendKeys() to fill it.

Here is what I got when I recorded it.

ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _ 
IgnorePrintAreas:=False

You can then run your Outlook operation to send the emails.
