Faxing using ASP.NET

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Hi There,

I am trying to fax a document from an asp.net page and I am getting an
Error message saying Access denied.

Here is my function that I am using.

Sub SendFax(ByVal strFilePath As String, byVal strPhone As String)
Dim objFaxServer As New FAXCOMLib.FaxServer
Dim objFaxDocument As FAXCOMLib.FaxDoc
Dim JobID As Long

objFaxServer = CreateObject("Faxserver.Faxserver")
objFaxServer.Connect("") <-- access denied message here
objFaxDocument = objFaxServer.CreateDocument(strFilePath)

objFaxDocument.FaxNumber = strPhone

' Send the Fax
JobID = objFaxDocument.Send()

objFaxDocument = Nothing
objFaxServer = Nothing
End Sub


I have tried giving IUSR and IWAM accounts access to the shared fax
printer and the c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary
ASP.NET Files directories but still no luck.

I have a Windows 2003 Server with fax sharing installed.

Does anyone have the solution to this problem ?

Regards

David

Hey David

In your connect objFaxServer.Connect("computername");
try that, and let me know if that fails.

Hi There, Yep tried that but with no luck. I did however work out
that the problem was due to running the code on a Domain controller.
Refre to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wss/wss/_exch2k_running_asp_net_on_a_dc.asp
I tried running the code on a non - domain controller and all worked
fine.

Hi,
Iam using the following code in ASP.NET application to send fax.

1) Dim objFaxServer As New FAXCOMLib.FaxServer

2) objFaxServer = CreateObject("Faxserver.Faxserver")
3) objFaxServer.Connect(Environment.MachineName)

But recieving the following error while connecting to fax server.(In 3rd line)

Error: "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Unspecified error"


Thanks in Advance.

I guess you are using this on a machine running Windows 2000 and is trying
to connect to the local Fax server. Please confirm this. Also, make sure
that the local fax service is up and running [you can do "net start fax" at
the command line to start the fax service]

If the above is fine, please catch the COMException [please look into MSDN
for details on this] and please supply the error code and the message
associated with the exception. That will help us identify the issue.

Hey Suresh

A possible place where your problem might lie I think is that you might
not have enough perms for the command Enviorment.MachineName try
replacing that with "MyComputer" in quotes.
Hope this helps

I checked "net start Fax" and Fax service is running without any problems. I
tried the connect method using several options (like NULL,empty
string,mycomputer,computername) but went in vain.

Hello Suresh

As Archan mentions in his post quoted below

>If the above is fine, please catch the COMException [please look into
MSDN

>associated with the exception. That will help us identify the issue.

Your best bet would be to give the error code that would help us step
through the problem.
