When I enter an email address into an Access data field, I would like to be
able to click on the field and have the Outlook Express email screen pop up.
Unfortunately whatever I do it calls the Internet browser, inspite of the
fact that a field containing name@isp is obviously not a url but an email
address. We do not have this problem with Excel or Word. How can I declare
a field to be of type "hyperlink" and have it automatically insert the
string "mailto:" rather than "http://"?
I tried creating an additional text box on a form, declare it of type
hyperlink, and construct the necessary string built up by
[emailaddress]&"#"&"mailto:"&[emailaddress], but this doesn't work either.
Can anyone help me over this?
