I have been working on a new FAX feature for MBA reports. It will work similar to PDF file creation with a button on the Report Previewer window. So any report will now be Faxable in addition to printing and saving as PDF.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP (both Home and Pro) have a built in Fax program so MBA will use that to Fax with. The new Windows Vista has faxing as well but only in the top three versions. Home “Basic” and Home “Premium” do not come with the Faxing software that was available in the prior versions.

I have been out “window” shopping for a new Notebook and have noticed many come with Home “Basic” or Home “Premium” so it looks like I am going to have to inquire about upgrading Windows Vista (to Business version) at the same time. If your thinking of upgrading to Vista you should look into the various configurations of the 5 Vista versions to be sure your getting what you need.
