Our company is looking at becoming a fax services provider. We want
clients to be able to send faxes through outlook and the rest of
Microsoft Office. I notice if you go to New > Internet Fax in outlook
it brings up a list of providers that offer this ability. What is
needed to be able to code an application like this? I cannot find
anything online about it.
Thanks

You might want to post the question in the Microsoft.Public.Win2000.Fax
group; this is where programmatic Fax concerns are worked.

YOu can also contact Microsoft directly about becoming a Marketplace
partner. Use any of the Contact Us links in the Office Marketplace site.

Mr. Jenkins, if I understand correctly you want to offer an Internet
based fax service to your clients.
At Global Access, Inc. we developed and are continously improving our
OnLine Fax(tm) software and service since 1996. The Internet Fax
application you describe would need to be programmed using .net or some
other software development language. Let me describe how our service
works so you'll be better equipped as you plan your project.
There are two parts to our fax service, the server and the client
software, each has thousands of man hours invested in its development.
Most such services work with one or multiple servers located in a
central datacenter which receives traditional fax documents turning
them into digital files, in our case Adobe PDFs, then delivering to the
user/clients email inbox. Likewise, when a user/client sends a fax, the
digital document and routing information is transmitted from the
desktop computer via the Internet to the server(s), which immediately
converts it to a traditional fax, dials the recipients number and sends
the document to their fax machine. The concept works just like having
a fax server in a business, but instead of connecting desktop computers
to the server by a LAN, they're connected by the Internet. Using the
Internet for connectivity gives us the ability to have users anywhere
in the world that has Internet access. For the user, all that's
necessary to begin OnLine Faxing is our software installed on their
computer(s) and an email address. Presto! They're faxing in a few
minutes.
I would be glad to answer any additional questions you have. Our web
site may also help www.onlinefax.com.
Regards,
Walter

I understand it takes a lot of man hours to create the backend
application. However, what I am most interested in is the coding
involved on the client side, specifically, with Microsoft Office 2003.
I want to know what needs to be done to windows specifically to take
advantage of the Send To > Internet Fax... menu option.
Thanks

Then MSDN is the first place to start.
