Tobit Faxware @@Nummer Code@@

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio version 13.0.15.1840 with C#/.Net 4.5

I'm running into an issue when I try to pass on a Fax Number to Tobit Faxware.

In my report there is a Formula Field present that contains the Fax number in the Format" '@@NUMMER '+{FAXNR}+'@@' " in white font color.

As I understand this should enable Tobit to analyse the resulting Report and extract the Fax number given in the report to send the document to it.

Unfortunately this doesn't work, Tobit is not able to read the Fax Number from the report.

Any suggestions why this isn't working as expected?

regards

Johannes

Hi Johannes,

When CR prints it generates a "picture" of the page and does not send the output in an ASCII format for printers to read.

What you will need to do is get the data from the field @ runtime and manage it to pass the vale to your fax software in clear text.

See the SDK help file on how to read the data from the report and pass the result into the fax software.

I have no idea how Tobit Faxware reads those fields and what it does with them once the fields are read. I'd recommend contacting obit Faxware and see if they can help.
