Automate Faxing in Windows

All information seems to be very dated info regarding faxing solutions. Need fresh help.

I can fax using Windows 2003 fax server but need to automate the process - get that silly wizard everytime. I want to be able to send 10 1 page faxes to 10 fax numbers with numbers being pulled from database - and lose the silly wizard.

Watched a tutorial on VB Scripting that looked like it will do it but can't get it implemented - and it is over 2 years old (v6).

Any help would be appreciated.

I guess it's more of a"how to implement it".

In the tutorial, I'm shown a sample VBscript which I've figured out - but how do I get Filemaker to send it?

Different ways of doing it...

- with a plugin: the vbscript plugin at www.grokittools.com

- without it: look for the "browse for folder" example I posted a while back (in the sample solutions forum). It'll show you the basic concept of executing VBscript from inside FM. Feel free to post back if you get stuck and we'll help you get on the way.
