No ms fax events in XP SP3 anymore? "constructor" <ngr[ at ]*REMOVE*zollondz.de> 12/23/2008 12:16:55 PM Hello NG Years ago I wrote a little prgramm that monitors the activity of MS Fax Service. To do that, I simply extracted the events belonging to Fax Service from the event log and stored the description of the action taken place in a separate file. In case of an error the users could look into this text file to see what went wrong. This programm worked well with Win2000 for years. When my customer switched to WinXP, the event IDs where different and had to be replaced, but after that the programm worked well again. Today I installed this programm on a new customers PC running with XP SP3 and the fax log stays empty! In the event log I can't find any Fax event entry, so my programm can't extract any. As well I didn't find a means to tell the fax service how deep the event information has to be stored. Did I miss something that is different now, or does MS Fax Service gave it up to store events in the event log? Best regards and TIA Uwe

For some reasons I don't know, the fax service event logging seem to be switched off by default. But I can activate it via the FaxEventLoging Object described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684912(VS.85).aspx Thanks for reading Regards Uwe "constructor" <ngr[ at ]*REMOVE*zollondz.de> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:uhsSahPZJHA.556[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
