RE: Fax to DB

[Sorge, Bruce]

Billy, I thought if this too, however, the faxes are going to be incoming faxes and not outgoing. Also, I do not know what the platform is for the CF server is.   Thanks   -----Original Message----- From: Billy Cravens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Fax to DB   Bruce, I know that the Fax Service is Windows 2000 has a COM interface.  It's easy to code against it for sending faxes - I'm not certain what your options are when receiving. -- Billy Cravens, EDS [EMAIL PROTECTED]   >From: "Bruce Sorge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Fax to DB >Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2001 21:30:52 -0500 > >has anyone ever created an application that takes a fax and enters the information into a DB? I am looking into doing something like this for a client, however, I cannot find anything out there that does this. I know that there are services out there like efax and jfax that can allow a user to send a fax to an email address, but all that this does is create an attachment that is a .tiff image. I am not aware of how to take an image and extract data from it and plop it all into a DB. I am sure that I could take that attachment, and have it saved to an directory, then use the DB as a pointer to the image, but this will not work. > >TIA, > >Bruce Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email server is running an evaluation copy of the MailShield anti- spam software.
