Well, let me explain the full situation and perhaps someone might have a better solution.
We are using ZetaFax as our Faxserver. They have some "psudo" API methodology to send a fax from code. This methodology includes the following: 1. Add a printer (Epson LQ-1000). 2. Set the printer port to FILE. 3. Print this document to a file (which converts the document into a TIFF file). 4. Drop this file into a folder on the FaxServer along with another file with a .sub extention which outlines the number, To, From, etc. 4. The FaxServer monitors that folder and when it detects a new file it sends it along with the graphic (TIFF) file. Cheesy, right. This is all I have to work with. I guess another way would be to find a Document Conversion control that will convert the file to a TIFF file. With this I can just drop the TIFF file into the folder in question and add the .sub file for directions. Anyone have suggestions on this?
