How do i define an e-mail address field in a table. I have defined a
hyperlink field now but i need to type "mailto:" before entering the e-mail
adress first.

How do i define the field so that this is not necessary anylonger

hello Arvin thanx for your reply. i tried this but it does not work. it jumps
to the IE browser probably cause the e-mail adres is automaicly prefixed with
Http//

is it possible to define how hyperlinks are stored in tables witjout haing
to type mailto all the time. Like in an e-mail field it will automatically
prefix mailto: and in case of a webpage automaic prefix with http//.

You can just code the double-click event of a plain text field's text box:

Sub txtTextfield_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Application.FollowHyperlink ("Mailto:" & Me![txtTextfield])
End Sub
