The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
In Visual FoxPro, issuing a REPORT FORM to FILE command sends the contents of
the report to a file with the selected printer driver's control codes. The file
can then be copied to the selected printer. With WinFax (version 8.0) selected
as the printer, issuing a REPORT FORM to FILE command behaves the same if REPORT
FORM to PRINTER. Rather than going to a file, WinFax is launched and the report
is sent as a fax.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Install WinFax 8.0. WinFax should appear as a Printer option.
2. In Visual FoxPro, create and save a report as "FAXTEST." Select "WinFax" as
the printer from the File, Page Setup menu option.
3. From the Command window, issue the following code:
REPORT FORM faxtest TO FILE test.fax
The WinFax application starts and proceeds to process the report as if it had
been sent to PRINTER rather than send the report to a file.
