Emails from Access 2003 Table

[JEO]

I have some email addresses in an Access 2003 table. I would like to be able
to click on these email addresses in the table and have an Outlook email pop
up w/ the send to email address populated. I read several other dialogues and
it seems the answers were all related to forms. Do I have to create a form in
order to use this feature?

JEO,

SInce some code is going to be required to get Outlook to open I'm going to
say you will need to do this from a form. On a side note, if you plan to
let anyone else use this database you really want them to use forms and not
enter directly into the tables.

Gina,

Would you mind giving me step by step directions on the proper way to
accomplish this once the data is part of a form? Please explain in language
that is as elementary as possible.

I really appreciate your help.
