    Default Trying to get Fax to work

    I have been trying to get this piece of code to work for days now. It throws an error whenever you try to attach the file you want to fax to the coverpage. I'm hoping someone may be able to help solve this one.

    Thanks
    Code:
        
    Imports FAXCOMEXLib
    
    
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            Dim objFaxDocument As New FAXCOMEXLib.FaxDocument
            Dim objFaxServer As New FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServer
            Dim objSender As FaxSender
            Dim JobID As Object
    
            'Error handling 
            On Error GoTo Error_Handler
    
            'Connect to the fax server 
            objFaxServer.Connect("Server")
    
            'Set the fax body 
            objFaxDocument.Body = "Fax00000020.tif"
    
            'Name the document 
            objFaxDocument.DocumentName = "My First Fax"
    
            'Set the fax priority 
            objFaxDocument.Priority = fptHIGH
    
            'Add the recipient with the fax number 12225550100 
            objFaxDocument.Recipients.Add("555-1234", "Test")
    
            'Choose to attach the fax to the fax receipt 
            objFaxDocument.AttachFaxToReceipt = True
    
            'Set the cover page type and the path to the cover page 
            objFaxDocument.CoverPageType = FAX_COVERPAGE_TYPE_ENUM.fcptSERVER
            objFaxDocument.CoverPage = "generic"
    
            'Provide the cover page note 
            objFaxDocument.Note = "Here is the info you requested"
    
            'Provide the address for the fax receipt 
            objFaxDocument.ReceiptAddress = "someone@example.com"
    
            'Set the receipt type to email 
            objFaxDocument.ReceiptType = FAX_RECEIPT_TYPE_ENUM.frtMAIL
    
            'Specify that the fax is to be sent at a particular time 
            'objFaxDocument.ScheduleType = fstSPECIFIC_TIME 
            ''CDate converts the time to the Date data type 
            'objFaxDocument.ScheduleTime = CDate("4:35:47 PM") 
    
            objFaxDocument.Subject = "Today's fax"
    
            'Set the sender properties. 
            objFaxDocument.Sender.Title = "Mr."

            'Submit the document to the connected fax server 
            'and get back the job ID.

            ' implementation is for demonstration purposes

        End Sub

    The error is thrown at this line
    "JobID = objFaxDocument.ConnectedSubmit(objFaxServer)" I think the message is operation failed, Have to check it agin when I go back to work.

    If I don't attach a file it works fine, the cover page is sent successfully. Once I attach a file however, it throws the error and I have tried several file formats.

    The error is operation failed
    The code accesses the fax server and sends the fax to it. The fax server in turn faxes the document. I uninstalled and reinstalled the fax service on the server today. Not sure if the problem is in the code or in the configuration. Either way the error message isn't helpful.

    TwistedPair,

    Have you found the solution yet? I'm having the same error using Delphi.

    Thanks,

    David
