Help!
I'm in need of some ActiveX expertise.
I get a "Type Mismatch" error on the MODIFY statement below, but the fax is sent successfully. Is the MODIFY statement correct for the Submit method?
Thanks.

CLSID, 0F3F9F91-C838-415E-A4F3-3E828CA445E0
NAME, "FaxDocument"
DEFAULT-INTERFACE, "IFaxDocument"

* Connect to server, submit the fax document, disconnect

    Hm... Seems reasonable. See no immediate reason why it fail. You may have to report this with a reproduceable.

    Hi Milk5600 and gforseth -

    I am getting the same type mismatch error after the successful fax submission. Is there any new information on this error?

    Thank you!

    Acucorp Support sent be the following reply:

    Just wanted to let you know that I did some investigating on this issue and was able to reproduce your problem here. I've sent it back to Tech Support and they've changed the status to a product defect in the Acu runtime. This means that it's been submitted to Development for possible correction; however, it will probably be a low priority and may not get fixed any time soon.

    I wasn't able to find a workaround for this -- i.e., calling the COM interface directly from ACUCOBOL. The only suggestion I have would be to write a stub program in Visual Basic and then call it from ACUCOBOL. I was able to write a simple standalone VB program that successfully uses the COM interface to the Windows Fax Service, so this should work

    I also ended up writing a VB program that seems to work.

    Hi Milk5600 and gforseth -

    Would you happen to have the bug id# associated with this runtime bug? I would like to follow up on this issue with Micofocus as I continue to use FAXCOMEXLib com object. I am temporarily modifing the declarative logic to not display the type mismatch error after a successful fax submission.

    We have many end-users who are on unix with AcuConnect and I believe that we would be required to install the VB work around program on every client PC. Or is there a better solution?

    Thanks in advance!
