Chris' recommendations are good ones, however, if you simply want plain text
(no bold, highlight, tables, bullet lists, etc.) that can be simple, because
many fax clients install as a printer. You can create a simple report
containing the information and choose the FAX as the printer. The HP
All-in-One device I have installed itself twice, once for printing, once for
faxing, for example.
And, I'd add a final option, often overlooked when advising new users: If
you are interested in learning Access or becoming an Access developer, you
_can_ undertake the project yourself. Note that doing so is often not the
most cost-effective approach, you may still need to hire an experienced
Access developer as a consultant/coach, and it is likely to take longer.
But, in addition to the application, you will come out with better knowledge
(and certainly enough to be able to maintain and enhance the application in
the future).
On the other hand, I know of a good many users who jumped right in to a
more-complex-than-beginner application, invested in a few good self-study
text, relied heavily on answers in newsgroups, attended user group meetings,
and ended up being extremely well-qualified Access developers.
