Hi Adam

As long as you can display the address in a text box on a form there's no
problems.

Have a look at this post

Here's what I like to do.

I have a few applications for which I send bulk e-mails. Thus I need to
save a the "native" e-mail address which I do in a field I call EMailText. I
also like to hyperlink another field to directly open my e-mail client and
place the address in the "to:" line. In order to do so, I need "MailTo:" in
front of the e-mail address (Microsoft, of course, adds some of their own
stuff to differentiate it from an Http hyperlink.) To have both
capabilities, here's what I do:

In the AfterUpdate event of the EMailText field I simply write:

Me.EMailHyper = "MailTo:" & Me.EMailText

I now have both. To keep the end user from making mistakes, I lock
EMailHyper.

I hope that addresses your issue.

Hello Roger,

I'm not sure i understand..?
I have email addresses in one field in a table. I already created a button
that opens ms outlook - I want to add code to the button or run a macro that
will take the addresses (one at a time, or many - depending on how many email
address i have that day as it will be different from one day to the next).
And drop it in the too field of an email. The parts i'm missing is being able
to have the message open already when outlook opens and have the addresses
put in the to field.

Thansk.
