Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
Russ

I notice your speciality is Outlook. Whilst I have Outlook installed I
have never been comfortable using it. After reinstalling WinFax Pro and
whilst trying to reconfigure WinFax Pro it took an interest in the
existence of Outlook I had to insert my Office 2000 Professional CD.
Perhaps I need to check whether Outlook might be part of the problem. It
certainly would do no harm to check for updates.

Thanks for your response and support <G>.
