If my code looks like this....

FaxMan.FaxNumber = "555-1212"

FaxMan.FaxFiles = "c:\myfax.fmf"

FaxMan.SendFax ’send the fax

and the fax failed (no answer, no-dialtone, etc.) is there a way to resend/retry this failed fax automatically?  Or I have to pick each failed faxes and send it again using SENDFAX referencing the LOG* properties of each failed faxes?

 Hi,

Set the FaxRetires properties to tyhe # of times you want Faxman to retry the fax and the RetryInterval property to the interval in seconds between those attempts. Set these  properties prior to calling SendFax,

Thanks for the reply.  If I'm sending multiple faxes, how does faxman handle this?  Is there a property for checking the status of a file that was sent using SENTFAX? Can faxman can automatically send another file even if the retry or interval is not met yet based on the previous file the I sent?

for x = 1 to nn

FaxMan.FaxNumber = "555-1212"

FaxMan.FaxFiles = "c:\myfax.fmf"

FaxMan.faxretries = 3

FaxMan.faxretryinterval = 30

FaxMan.SendFax ’send the fax

endfor

starttimer.enabled = .T. 

 Hi,

Faxman has a queue based system where faxes are sorted by the send time. If a faxe is ready to be sent then faxman will send it at the next available opportunity. When a fax failes the faxjob is moved back to the pending queue and the send time is incremented by the retryinterval. If other faxes are ready to be sent prior to that failed jobs interval then they will be sent.
