I have to configure my client so default to text ... as is now, it is
a lot work to keep it from shooting HTML.  At times, I set it to text
and just when I am about to send a message, it reverts back to HTML and
I loose all that I have typed - I am using godaddy.com web mail.

So, I guess the short answer is I am fighting with my email client and
I am about to give up!

| Click on Have Disk and follow the prompts from there ...
| 
| After having install at least one DELL driver, DELL will be listed
| on future install as a known vendor ...
| 
| Hope this helps!

Well, some times hope is all I got!

No but it answers his question about how to install a printer on XP
where
he uses filePro.  At no time did he mention that this printer was to be
added in "filePro" printer table.

Bad question - bad answer having looked at the effort Richard put forth,

otherwise, the answer is correct given the effort put by Henry.

That said, I almost did as Richard but chose not to.  I was aiming at
saying 
"This answers your question as asked - Any questions?"  Just trying to
make 
Henry work a bit harder for it.  By the way, you DO NOT install printers
in
filePro, they are installed at the OS level.


Side Note (OFF SUBJECT):
-----------------------
If you are going to claim you are a developer the least you can do is 
structure a question in a way such that is more to the point.  If you
are not
sure how to phrase the question, then be humble enough to say that you
are
not sure but ... and one can then assist you.  This reminds me of what
Mark
said about PHP where anybody can use it and too many people do (those
that
should not).  This is a prime example of how PHP is not alone.
